           Dear All,

A fairly quiet week to start the New Year. On Monday I assembled my new Christmas toy – a Germination tent which was rather different from what I was expecting but it is looking promising and I have already got seeds on test.

We stocked up at Tesco’s on Tuesday and had a walk round Over Fen. Kate joined the U3A walk on Thursday but I walked locally. In fact we have walked locally nearly every day this week, the best being round Swavesey Fen on Saturday in very cold and bracing conditions.

I have been revising “Just Vegetating“talks as well as a few other talks which are lining up.

In between, I have had 3 doctor’s appointments in a month and can tell you lots of things I haven’t got but they are still baffled as to what is ailing me. I have high blood pressure, low energy, tingly feet and a few other aches and pains.

Best wishes
