Dear All,

We have had outings to Hove and London this week. Wednesday was a bit gloomy so we opted for an indoor activity and visited Brighton Pavilion. It was well worth a visit and remains in good condition – even if the domes do not quite match Istanbul!
Amélie was in good form and remains a cheerful soul currently fascinated by woodlice.




  
Brighton Pavillion

On Friday we had tickets for “Bring Up the Bodies” at the Aldwych Theatre. We spent the morning in the National Gallery, Covent Garden and the Embankment Gardens before meeting up with Ben outside Somerset House for a pre theatre meal and tour of Kings College. The play was excellent and unusually for London, not completely full.

My foot has been playing up this week so I did not walk but Kate completed the 2nd stage of the Lea Valley walk from Harpenden to Mill Green, Hatfield and was enthusiastic about some of the scenery.

We have experienced some trouble with the solar panels due to a fault with the inverter, but a replacement has been delivered from Germany and installed under warrantee.

At the end of our U3A “Just Vegetating” course participants asked to visit our garden. We offered them a date (next Friday) but typically only about a third could make that day so Kate has offered a couple of alternatives and equally typical some can make one and not the other so it looks as though we will be entertaining on three occasions – starting with today.

Cricket was cancelled again yesterday due to a morning downpour making three of the first six games rained off. Chapel cricket should start Monday against Cambridge Police.

Love



Mike & Kate
