Dear All,
On Tuesday we had an impulsive trip to London to see that new play “The
Mousetrap”. It is in its 63rd year and we saw the 26,146th
performance! It is certainly not the best play I have seen but it is
interesting to see and wonder why it has lasted so long. An added bonus was
that the cast included Timothy Kightley and I shared an office with his brother
Simon for a number of years.
In the afternoon we went to the National Portrait Gallery for the
first time which was well worthwhile and dropped in to Covent Garden to watch
the street entertainment.

You wait for one bus then ten turn up!

On Thursday I was at Wisley for our first meeting of the year
looking at Kale, early Brussels sprouts and Leeks. The trials were much better
than in recent years. As I was travelling alone I took Ken and May Elsom for a
visit. The M25 was constipated both ways so it was 3 hours there and 2.5 back.

On Friday we had yet another stage of Street Pastor qualification
with DBS clearance and in the evening we had a Pastoral Care session on “Bereavement”.
I was called out for cricket again yesterday against a team that
needed to win to gain promotion and we were rather weak so it was a long afternoon
– I think I need to retire for the 5th time!
There have been signs of developments next door as the new owners
moved some things in yesterday but are planning to demolish the garage and
insert a caravan while they extend the property.
Love
Mike & Kate
