Dear All,
We are off to Belgium visiting the WW1 Battlefields with the walking
group, tomorrow so a brief missive tonight.
A bit of travelling this week: Wisley Monday, Biggleswade Wednesday,
Walk at Clare Thursday, Scunthorpe on RHS business on Friday.
At Wisley we were judging late carrots and revisiting the tomato
trial. For once the M25 was kind and we had reasonable journeys both ways.
I went to Biggleswade on Wednesday with Jim Burr to pick up some
vegetables for the harvest festival and took Jim for the ride and coffee at
Waresley.
Our Thursday walk started at Clare and followed the river Stour and
took in Belchamp St Peter. It was sunny and a good walk.
I had an early start on Friday leaving at 5.50am to get to Normanby
Hall, Scunthorpe by 9am. RHS Fruit & Vegetable Committee had a meeting
there and were meant to answer questions from the public afterwards. This did
not create too much interest so 6.5 hours travelling for not a great result.
Normanby House was owned by David Cameron’s father-in-law but is now National
Trust. It has a large Park, house and walled garden.

It has been Messy Church today (it’s 2nd birthday) and
about 45 turned up. Kate was in charge of food.

I have been asked to do a bit more work for Riverford so had to fit
in a report somewhere today.
Love
Mike & Kate
