Dear
All,
On Monday, after swimming we joined Kate &
Gordon, Merv & Pat and Bob & Carol at The Old Crown, Girton for lunch
to celebrate Gordon’s 65th birthday. In the evening I had a Cemetery
Trustees meeting where we were discussing making a better area for interment of
ashes as well as raising the cost of dying by increasing the fees for a plot!
At the same time I booked and paid for a double plot – which is rather sobering
experience!
“Just Vegetating” this week covered “Salads – Fruit”
and the recipes were Roast Stuffed Peppers, Aubergine bake and Mutabbal (a sort
of Aubergine dip).
Kate and I lined up for a flu jab on Wednesday – so far
with no ill effects. Our Thursday stroll started at Hatfield Broadoak near
Stanstead. Autumn colours had really
kicked in so it was a very pleasant walk.

Our “Biography” topic this week was John Bowering
who was a Devon wool trader who rose to become a political economist, MP and
the 4th Governor of Hong Kong – no I hadn’t heard of him either but
the lady who presented claimed to be a distant descendant.
Friday evening I took a Garden Club at Barrow in
Suffolk while Kate went to Street Pastors training on “Homelessness”. The
effort that goes into trying to support these folk in Cambridge quite amazing
and little recognised.
The Swedish family are now officially registered so
can try to find nurseries and schools. Amélie now has a very gappy smile due to
teeth loss and seems 6” taller in each photo.

Swedish Housing?
