Dear All,
This has been the last week of the U3A term so relief all round! The
“Just Vegetating” session was a brand new topic of “Culinary Herbs” – so even I
had to listen. Kate livened up her recipe section by smuggling a bottle of
absinthe into the Friends Meeting House! – Strictly in the interests of
illustrating the use of herbs in drinks. This year’s class have been excellent
and besides signing a flattering card presented us both with books about “Arthur
Young” and a bouquet for Kate.

We had a brief flurry of snow on Thursday as we set out for the walk
but fortunately the day improved and the sun even made an appearance. We were
leading the walk we had reccied last week from Perry at Grafham Water.

In the evening we attended the Over Players Pantomime “Pinocchio”.
There were some strong performances but several of the regulars were missing. “More
like a musical than a Pantomime” was music critic Kate Day’s verdict.

I have been digging a trench to get electricity laid on to our
greenhouses but have to get an electrician to connect the wiring as there are
so many rules about such things these days.
Hilda next door had a fall on Wednesday and is currently in
Addenbrooks with a cracked hip.
We have mailed cards and presents this week and collected a tree
from the Fenwick’s – still only £10 for 7 ft!
Over drew 2v2 with a powerful Lakenheath outfit yesterday in an
action packed evenly matched game.
John Bell rang last night to discuss the pictures we sent with their
card – he doesn’t like to leave anything to chance!
Love
Mike & Kate
