Dear
All,
We
haven’t been far this week, even the Thursday walk was fairly local starting at
Stow-cum-Quy and took in Lode and Quy Fen. It was warm and a good walk, it is surprisingly
rural for an area so close to Cambridge.

I
played cricket on Bank Holiday Monday – a friendly within the club. I took 2
wickets, held a catch, hit a couple of fours, strained a groin and have a sore
arm. I think someone is trying to tell me something!
This
weekend marks the finish of the cricket season and the 2nd XI played
in the rain yesterday making a mess of the pitch, justifying it by saying “You
have the whole winter to put it right!”
I
spent a day swapping the strawberry bed and the raspberry raised bed over in
the fruit cage. It was serious rotovating, adding compost and relaying Mypex.
Kate has taken strawberry runners and I have ordered new raspberry canes.

Larkcom, who we visited in Cork a few years ago, is busy updating her book “The
Salad Garden” and I have been helping her revising the variety sections. This
has involved more work than I expected but the end is in sight.
We
were on Street Pastors on Friday night. It was fairly quiet – which makes it
seem longer. The strangest sight was a line of six lads sitting outside a shoe
shop queuing all night to buy the latest “Jordan Air” trainers for a bargain
£125 per pair. They explained that they would be worth £250 next week.
Our
pastor David Smith has returned to South Africa for a couple of weeks as his
father is declining rapidly and he wanted some “quality time” before his
demise. We expect Dave Garlick this evening to update news from Ecuador.
