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
