2^nd June 2013.

Dear All,

Kate and I have just returned from Birmingham where we have been attending David Kitson’s wedding to Hana. The wedding was in a church at Yardley and the reception in a pavilion at Bournville near “Cadbury’s World”. Hana was orphaned in her early teens and joined the army after school and they later supported her through medical school. She has recently worked in Sierra Leone and they plan to both return there for several months.

We stayed in Bournville and found the house that Kate’s father was born in on the way home this morning before stopping in Rugby to visit Margaret and Andrew – I was at school with Margaret at both Thorpe and Clacton.

On Friday I went to Lords to watch England struggling against New Zealand. It was quite sunny so I came home with a decent tan.

By contrast we hardly saw the sun at all on Thursday’s walk which started at Therfield near Royston. In fact it was back to winter “mud on your boots” walking.

The first chapel cricket match was rained off on Wednesday – I hope it is not a sign of things to come.

Kate met Esther and Natasha in London on Tuesday and visited the Science Museum with them en route to Amélie minding on Wednesday. Coming back on the train is always a rush and she managed to get on the wrong train so I had to collect her from St Neots.

Monday was spent in the garden including planting the winter brassicas – 30 minutes to plant, 2 hours building an anti pigeon barricade!

Love

Mike & Kate
