Dear All,
Well tough times afoot
with football, cricket, rugby, F1. Tour de France and Wimbledon all on it is
going to be tricky fitting them all in!
Highlight of this week
was an Over Gardening club visit to Impington Mill gardens. A couple took on the
project 20 years ago as there was an overgrown area of 1.5 acres but they were
not interested in the windmill. However, they have largely restored the mill
and created an interesting garden. One feature is their compost area of 12
tilting bins so that the contents can be turned as they pass through the
system.

Lowlight of the week has
been my emails being hacked. I couldn’t access them for a day and called in “Stan
the Computer Man”. It took him 1.5 hours to sort with two phone calls to BT. He
discovered that the emails had been diverted to a third party so were lost to
me. Evidently, they build up a picture of you that they can use in a Scam using
your identity!
Our Thursday walk started
at Sturmer beyond Haverhill and skirted Haverhill to Little Wratting, great
Wratting, Kedington and back along the Stour Valley Way. It was good conditions
for walking but parts of the Stour Valley Way were surprisingly overgrown. One
farm yard had experienced a very serious barn fire.Kate came on the walk this
week and made it round OK. She is still gradually improving but gets tired
every evening and the steroids seem to affect her sleep pattern.

I watched Over cricket
team yesterday who fielded a weakened team as one member held a stag do in the
Lake District. What are things coming to when cricketers get married in the
season? The remnants performed well but lost by one wicket in a close finish.
The theme of the photos
in the Cambridge News this week was “Cambridgeshire” and I had a picture of
Fleam Dyke printed.
