4th January 2015


Dear All,

Happy New Year to all readers.
We enjoyed Christmas with all the family. Mary-Ann, Andy and Amélie left late Saturday when the roads were quieter and Amélie could sleep. Esther had to work Monday so travelled Sunday afternoon and Ben braved a very chilly Monday morning taking about 6 hours of enjoyment on his bike.
Kate and I had a clear frosty walk round the Fen on Monday – plenty of ice, mud and water.

I had a CT scan on Monday following up last year’s look at my lung, but as Addenbrookes is busy cancelling all appointments at present I have no idea of the result. I met up with Kate in town and did a little shopping: new walking boots for me, new coat for Kate.

We did not see the New Year in style as we were in bed by 10 pm! so we could be bright and bushy tailed for our Thursday walk. This was not so much fun as it was grey, overcast and muddy at Broughing and only 14 brave souls made it.

New Boots broken in!

We popped into St Ives on Friday and our old pastor Malcolm McKinnon called in the afternoon. He and Donna are now living in California and enjoying the lifestyle. They came home for Christmas for Donnas’ brother’s surprise 50th.

Saturday was very wet and all local football was cancelled so indoor activities only. I have two reviews to prepare so there is plenty to do.

Love



Mike & Kate
