Dear All,
It has been a fairly busy week -
one of those when you wonder how you had time to go to work!
On Monday we had the Cousin’s Reunion organised by Mary & Graham
meeting at Ruislip Lido where we had a bargain meal (carvery £4.59) and a walk
round the reservoir followed by tea and chat at 13 Farm Avenue. There were just
8 of us as Guernsey folk did not travel this year and John & Muriel are
reluctant go to unfamiliar destinations.
On Tuesday I prepared a cricket pitch, met up with John Law to
deliver his post Moldova luggage and discuss the way ahead, met ex NIAB
Wrinklies for lunch at Girton, had a discussion at Addenbrookes about arthritic
feet, conducted a net practice for the chapel team then hosted the church
midweek group.
On Wednesday Kate and I moved the vegetable net to the allotment and
planted Brussels sprouts, sprouting broccoli, kale and cabbage in it. In the
evening the chapel cricket team began their season with a narrow defeat to
Anglian Water.
Our Thursday walk started at Therfield above Royston. It is a great
area for walks with several hills and very rural. Later I had to take the
cricket mower to Gog Magog for repairs – it is very sensitive and doesn’t enjoy
long trouble free periods!

Sandon church
Friday we were walking again as we had to recce for leading next
week at Radwinter near Saffron Walden – a good walk but plagued with several
areas of vigorous nettles – definitely not a walk for shorts!
Derreck Medlock, a former next door but one neighbour with the large
rabbit collection, has been clearing the bungalow this week and called in with
Joyce for a drink in the evening. He has been agonising about whether to sell
or rent or move back. He still hasn’t made up his mind, meanwhile the estate
agent have increased the notional value by £50,000 in a year of being empty!
We were on Street Pastors last night. It seemed a long night, fairly
quiet at first but with quite a lot of broken glass and bottles to collect.
Later there was the usual clutch of youths enjoying their night out by being violently
sick and a couple of fights but nothing too serious.
Love
Mike & Kate
