Dear
All,
We
had a 70th birthday celebration on Sunday for Glynis Fenwick and 1st
birthday BBQ for Arthur Burrell on Monday – as Tony Hancock might say “Friends
of all ages – none in the middle!”
It
has been a painting week, Kate has smartened up the bay windows and I had
freshened up the bottom shed. Both efforts had an edge as Kate up a ladder
still brings back unpleasant memories and while standing in a compost bin to
paint the shed I discovered that it also contained a wasp nest.

Star
plants in the garden this week include Rose cv Blessings, Spanish Flag and a
self-set Nicotinia sylvestris. Also the fig trees have been productive.

Our
Thursday jaunt started at Burrough Green near Newmarket and touched Stechworth
and the River Stour. There were some impressive maize crops and autumn
ploughing was well underway.

Over
lost their last cricket match of the season narrowly by 9 runs in the last over
but the football team are performing well on their return to the top division
currently unbeaten after 5 games and lying in 2nd place.
We
are expecting Dave and Ana Garlick from Ecuador this afternoon.
With
love
Mike
& Kate
