6th September 2020

 

Dear All,

We celebrated the Bank Holiday with a blackberry picking outing, there were plenty but the size was not impressive.

On Tuesday we dined out for the first time in many moons at Over Community Centre sussing it out for our walking group. There was plenty of space both indoors and outdoors for social distancing and the food was basic but OK, while the service could have been quicker.

 

The wind and rain had played havoc with the sprouts and broccoli at the allotment leaning them in all directions so they nearly needed staking this week. Paint brushes have been exercised again this week: Kate attending the garage door and me the bottom shed.

We had not seen much of Kate Foster over lockdown so we were pleased to have her call in for coffee on Wednesday. She has her in-laws living with her now and children and grandchildren in need of help and supervision, so has her hands full tending 4 generations! Daughter Anna has taken on a “Little City” franchise which hires out street scene models for children’s role play at parties.

 

I was pleased to receive a multi-stamped envelope from Moldova this week having had considerable trouble trying to reclaim air fares on Air Moldova, there now seems light at the end of the tunnel but I am not holding my breath.

We walked with some of the U3A group again this week starting at Orwell and taking in Eversden and Wimpole. It was a good work out with some surprising climbs with just a shower in the last half hour.

Both Over football and cricket teams were in operation yesterday and both won – the football team were playing their first league match of the season at Gamlingay and like England won 1 v 0 away having had a man sent off!

Plant of the week: Love Lies Bleeding
