Dear All,
It was our turn to Amélie sit this week. She is still into bugs and
snails and spends time in the garden searching for fresh specimens. On
Wednesday we visited friends Robert & Heather we met in Turkey, who live in
Bexhill-on-Sea. We took them for lunch at a garden centre near Battle, then
strolled on the beach at Cooden – a prime seakale site.
We travelled back via Pevensey Castle.

We had a local walk on Thursday starting at Stowe cum Quy taking in
Little Wilbraham, Bottisham, Lode and Anglesey Abbey. It was 10 miles and sunny
all trip with a large turnout. Philip, our illustrious leader, had his second
knee replacement on Wednesday. We half expected to see him on Thursday as he
attacked his recovery exercises after the first replacement with considerable
zeal!

Otherwise it has been cricket pitch preparation and intensive gardening.
The allotment is reasonable but the sweet corn has been visited by either
rabbits or muntjac deer so we have erected the vegetable cage over it. Both
greenhouses are more or less full with tomatoes, cucumbers, melons, peppers,
aubergines and a sweet potato.
Kate and I were on “Street Pastors Nitelife” cafe duty last night.
It was fairly quiet until about 1.30 am when the neighbouring night club had a
toilet failure so we had a steady stream of those anxious for relief! Apart
from that there were the usual over indulgers, street dwellers and a large
group from Ely who had to wait for over an hour for their taxi. We got to bed
at 4.45 am and I was presenting the children’s talk this morning and Kate was involved
in the shared lunch - so no slouching!
Love
Mike & Kate
