Dear All,
Advent Carol Service at St Mary’s today – so I guess Christmas must
be coming! As pensioners we have been far too busy to begin shopping, planning
etc. yet but it has to be faced shortly.
On Monday I was invited to Bishops Stortford U3A to address their “Plants
& Gardening” course then in the evening we had a meal out at the Old Fire
Engine House at Ely with some of the Rambling Group. It is an excellent
restaurant near the Cathedral – but not the cheapest.
This week’s “Just Vegetating” was on “Minor Crops” and being U3A
there was discussion as to whether the term “Minor” was derogative!. The U3A
film was “Gold Diggers of 33” starring Ginger Rogers.
I went to the funeral of a wife of a former NIAB colleague on
Wednesday. It was conducted by a lady vicar who closely resembled Thora Hird
and was a former barmaid.
Our Thursday walk began at Therfield above Royston and included the
highest point in Cambridgeshire at a massive 146m. Kate has been suffering from
a pulled groin muscle so sat this one out.

Therfield
On Friday we met up with Esther for a meeting with her financial
advisor in Ongar then did a little gardening before travelling on to Upminster
to call on John and Muriel. They seemed quite well but not venturing very far
these days!
I cut the grass yesterday, hopefully for the last time this year –
but there is no guarantee!
News from Moldova is that they have virtually finished their new
church in Burlacu with help from Holland and Germany.
Love
Mike & Kate
