Dear All,
Highlight this week has been a gathering of the U3A class that we
taught last autumn. We invited them for lunch and a look round the garden and
20 took up the invitation.
The weather was kind and Kate prepared an excellent spread so no
complaints. We had early potatoes, French beans, carrots and broad beans all
ready and autumn shallots and onions already lifted.

Kate missed the Thursday walk to prepare the food and consequently
we arrived at the wrong Brockley Green grievously mislead by the Sat Nav. There
is both a Brockley and a Brockley Green between Bury St Edmunds and Haverill
and the Sat Nav chose the wrong one even though the correct words were
inserted. Kate would not have trusted the machine and followed on a map to
check. Our car load arrived 20 minutes late and had to hurry to catch up the
shorter walk which started at Brockley Green then took in Hundon.
Hundon
We had a tense cricket match with Cambridge Police on Wednesday,
they scored 156 and we managed 153 needing only 5 to win from the last over our
incumbent pair only managed 1 run. I have sustained a career threatening muscle
tear in the lower abdomen which is bothering me a little.
I have worked on the Marshalls Seeds project this week and apart
from wicket repairs and preparations have spent most of the rest of the time
smartening the garden ready for the visit.
Over 2nd XI started their match on the Green yesterday in
moist conditions and were predictably rained off after an hour, not before
doing considerable damage to the wicket, much to the annoyance of the
groundsman!
We were on late shift at “Nightlite” again last night. We had one
very serious sick case, a steady stream of happy revellers and several rough
sleepers including one with two (well trained) dogs who was present for the
whole 6 hours. There seems to be an increase in rough sleeping in Cambridge,
whether this is seasonal or a result of
Mr Cameron tightening the benefits conditions I am not sure. So it was
bed at 4.45 am and bright eyed and bushy tailed this morning!
Love
Mike & Kate
