Dear All,

Last week it was Gardening and walking, this week it has been Gardening, walking, ZOOM, painting and a few DVDs.

We have managed a local walk each day and a longer Thursday walk round the Fen Drayton Lakes. It was a sunny morning and a big contrast to our last outing there in January when we could hardly plod through the mud by the river.

Kate Social distancing!

Gardening wise I have planted cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, onions, beetroot, land cress, salsify, celeriac and broad beans outside this week and tomatoes in the greenhouse. I have also pressure washed the greenhouses.

We had a ZOOM session with a few of the walking group on Thursday and the family on Friday. The latter to mark Ben’s birthday. Ben has run 100 miles in 7 days for the first time in his career!

Kate started painting in the utility room this week and I have tackled the bike shed.

Local craftsman!

The Gregory’s have invested in a Dickens box set and lent us David Copperfield in 4 episodes. It was very good with a star-studded cast. In addition, we watched “the Long Sleep” starring Humphrey Bogart last night – they don’t make them like that anymore!

Keep well and cheerful.

With love

Mike & Kate
