Dear All,

As mentioned last week we have been entertaining participants to our U3A “Just Vegetating” course this week: 5 for Sunday lunch, 6 Friday lunchtime and another yesterday. The weather was kind and they were very appreciative but it is a strain keeping the garden weed free!
Overwintered onions were harvested this week and look promising. Our elderly neighbour has a spectacular plant flowering which she claims to be of unknown provenance. It turns out to be a Dragon Lily but she has no idea where it came from and hasn’t seen it flower before.

Fruit crops are mostly looking promising at this stage.

I have been tiling this week round the new sink we have had fitted in the “compact toilet” ex pantry downstairs.

Kate and I led the Thursday short walk starting at Great Eversden and skirting the Wimpole Estate.

Chapel affairs nearly every night this week: Monday cricket v Cambridge Police. We came 2nd and noticed that we are mostly at least a year older!
Tuesday was Groups, Wednesday a cemetery trustees meeting, Friday Holiday club planning.

On Tuesday ex employees were invited back to NIAB to catch up with developments and judge how well the current business can support the Pension Scheme! They are trying very hard and have diversified in a number of directions to spread the risks.

Mary-Ann is in Germany this weekend, Ben starts his assault on the “Tour de France” course and Esther is planning to come up to greet her aged parent on Fathers Day.

Love



Mike & Kate
