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
