12th July 2015


Dear All,

On Friday Kate and I had a day out visiting Naseby Battlefield and the nearby Coton Manor Gardens near Kettering. There is not a great deal to see at Naseby but it was interesting to see the terrain they fought over in what was a decisive battle in the Civil War. The gardens were well worth visiting with terraced beds, woods and water.

Thursday’s walk was a circular route around Ely and although largely familiar we did find some areas we had not seen before.

Red currant picking entered the second week but has finally finished for this year but raspberries are beginning now and the dwarf cherry tree has excelled this year.

Otherwise we have been preparing for next Saturday’s carnival, preparing wickets and generally keeping on top of watering and weeding.

I went to a NIAB “Wrinklies” lunch at Girton on Tuesday watching the differing rates that people age!

Ben flew to China on Friday for a 17 day visit.

Love


Mike & Kate
