Dear All,
Mary-Ann and Amélie are staying for the weekend while Andy
supervises a stag weekend. They arrived yesterday lunchtime and attended Messy
Church which Amélie had no trouble in
joining in.

On Tuesday Esther and Mary-Ann had treated Kate to a Pasta making
course at Jamie Oliver’s Restaurant in Clapham. Ben turned up as well and
grandpa was entrusted with entertaining Amélie on Clapham Common for a couple
of hours. The course seemed to be successful and quite a money spinner as they
run 5 courses a day for 10 participants at £30 to £45 a head.

Kate finally heard that she was successful in the voluntary job she
applied for last October as a “Mental Health Act Manager” and had a training
day at Peterborough on Wednesday. It is all to do with assessing people who
have been sectioned. The training was for a full day and fairly arduous so her
head was spinning when she returned. The whole application process was rather
fraught as none of the applicants heard anything for 8 months and promised
paperwork never materialised.
Our walk this week started at Cottered near Buntingford in dull but
thankfully not wet conditions. We had the first chapel cricket match of the
season in the evening so I was not too frisky that night.
The garden is just about full now and we started new potatoes and
broad beans this week as well as finding a few strawberries – still I expect
they do all those in Waitrose don’t they Graham?
Love
Mike & Kate
