Dear All,

It has been almost back to normality this week. On Monday it was swimming, a little digging followed by vegetable seed ordering. I guess Tuesday was not very normal on reflection being New Year’s Day. We called in briefly at Norman and Rosemary’s as they had their usual gathering then Kate and I travelled to Cambridge Corn Exchange to watch the St Petersburg Ballet Company perform “Swan Lake”. It would be wrong to say we are avid ballet fans – this is the third one we have seen in 70+ years! It was a high class performance and I could admire the effort and spectacle but it seems a strange way of getting a story over!

 

Above is us practicing at home!

We have walked twice this week, on Wednesday we recced at Hempstead and Radwinter for a walk we are due to lead next week them the normal Thursday outing started at Therfield above Royston. It was a decent walk – not too muddy or cold.

Kate has had two trips to the dentist to fix the tooth she broke over the New Year and they seem to have done the trick – at a price of course! We followed the Friday dentist visit with a clothes shopping trip to Cambridge and lunch at Coton Garden Centre.

Watching football was distinctly chilly yesterday. We travelled to Linton v Great Shelford: first and second in the Cambs Premier league.

Albert seems to have rallied and the family move out temporarily today to make way for the builders.

David and Rebecca celebrate their silver wedding this week end so they have been given the weekend off and Kate has organised a collection and card.

Love

Mike & Kate
