Dear All,

We have been down to Hove for a couple of days this week as Andy was away in Stockholm. We travelled down on Tuesday via NIAB to drop off the Gromwell seed I had collected in Moldova. We arrived at lunch time and after lunch took Albert for a walk along the front to Brighton. He is a good natured youth and spends a good deal of time smiling or copying his sister. He is not built for walking yet but can sort of shuffle backwards!
Amélie seems to enjoy school and goes off happily most days.

Our Thursday walk started at Debden south of Saffron Walden. It is relatively hilly thereabouts but it was a good walk – everywhere is suddenly much greener. The village pub has been taken over by Yuva a Nepalese outfit and was excellent value.

Near Newport



I had a Garden Club talk in the evening at Hundon beyond Haverhill. I don’t especially like going out after walking, but it happens sometimes. I couldn’t get near the village hall where the talk was scheduled for cars. I didn’t really think they had all come to hear me – it turned out it was the local cup final next door!

Otherwise it has been catching up with the garden and allotment: digging, rotovating, planting, cutting grass and weeding.

We hope to catch up with some of you at the cousin’s reunion tomorrow.

Love

Mike & Kate
