Dear All,
After
swimming “Just Vegetating” this week was “Salads – Roots, Shoots & Leaves”
and Kate produced: Braised Celery with cheese and onion sauce, Vegan chocolate
and beetroot cakes and All tine favourite salad with carrot, cucumber, radish
tomato and greenery.
In
the afternoon we collected a pane of glass for the greenhouse from Cottenham.
The first company quoted £70 but the second £15.
Mary
& Graham visited on Tuesday with some craft beads for Moldova and plates
for Esther to transform for Christmas. David and Ian were due to come as well
but David called off with a cold. We had a very good lunch at the Community
Centre.
I
managed to flick off a tooth cap while flossing and a 10 minute session having
it stuck back on cost £70.
Kate
joined the U3A walk on Thursday at Little Downham where they encountered a fair
share of mud. I again did a shorter local walk round the village.

We
were not able to hold the Biographies session in the usual Friends Meeting
House on Friday so had to decamp to the Methodist church on Castle Hill. We
were nicely settled in a warm upstairs room when a handicapped latecomer was
unable to master the stairs so we had to move to the main chapel downstairs
which was unfortunately unheated, so not a very comfortable session.
The
subject was Caroline Norton a glamorous Victorian lady who had an unfortunate
marriage with a violent husband who took her three sons away from her. She
became friendly with the PM Lord Melbourne. Women at the time had few rights
and she campaigned for access to her children amongst other rights.

We
hosted a Chapel Events committee in the evening hopefully planning monthly
events for the year.
I
planted a few potatoes in containers in the greenhouse. I am still up and down
and had a poor afternoon yesterday so did not attend football.
Best
Wishes
Mike
& Kate
