Dear All,
Started
the week with an ear syringe to remove wax so can hear what you are thinking perfectly
now! Dug much of the lower part of the garden to encourage drying. Mary-Ann, Amḗlie
and Albert arrived at lunchtime, Andy had to work and stayed in Hove. First
activity was an Easter Egg hunt in case they were suffering from chocolate
deficiency! Over playground is currently out of order as it is being renovated
so it was off to Willingham which has an excellent playground. The star evening
game was “Taco” which enables anyone under 13 to thrash everyone else
especially if they are over 70!

On
Tuesday I was helped by willing volunteers/slave labour sowing Runner Beans,
French Beans, Courgettes, Mustard & Cress and bean sprouts.
Amḗlie
presented me with a birthday painting.

and Recipient
Esther
& Emma popped in after work for a serious evening of games and model
making.
On
Tuesday John Lane entertained the children at the Fishing Lakes. The fish were
not biting very voraciously but Amḗlie caught a couple and no one else at the
lakes appeared to catch anything.
Hopeful Anglers
After
we travelled to La Pergola Italian restaurant at Eversden. The children managed
3 courses and the adults just one!
Mary-Ann
had discovered an abandoned Wormery and brought it up for Kate. They ordered
worms on line and these arrived on Thursday so it was set up.

Active Ingredient
The
Russell’s departed after lunch on Thursday and Kate and I visited Adrian to
remove a mattress from his recovery bed.
Friday
it was Cricket Pitch work again cutting x 2 and rolling. This was followed by
scarifying and cutting again yesterday to try and help it to recover from the
damp spring.
In
the afternoon it was an exciting outing with Geoff Pake to collect the
Firemen’s uniforms which had got as far as Sandy and transfer them to Market
Deeping in a box which Geoff had specially built. The destination was Deeping
Direct a vast storage unit with 200+ portacabins for collecting good before
dispatch. Unfortunately, the charity we are working with only owns 3 of the
portacabins and they were all completely full so our box started its journey to
Moldova on the roof of a cabin exposed to the elements.
Resting Place
Saturday
was a heavy morning rotovating Adrian’s Garden followed by dismantling my
Germination cabinet and planting a few more tomatoes.
In
the afternoon I picked up Dave who is currently without a car to watch Swavesey
2 v 3 Over Res.
Regards
Mike
& Kate
