Dear All,
Back
to normality and it seems to have been a long week including writing a report,
editing photos and preparing a PowerPoint presentation for Sunday. After
swimming Just Vegetating was a 2nd session of Minor Vegetables and
Kate prepared Roasted Asparagus with garlic, hazelnuts and thyme, Jerusalem
Artichoke Dauphinose and Sweet Potato grain with coconut and chilli. One more
week to go! In the evening it was the chapel annual 10 Pin Bowling at Pidley.
As proof of my indifferent health status I managed to come last amongst the
male bowlers!
On
Tuesday I reached the formidable milestone of 80 years which I find hard to get
my head around! 15 of us celebrated at an Italian restaurant at lunchtime. Many
thanks for cards and gifts – all greatly appreciated.
In
the evening I attended the Swavesey Local History talk on Grantchester. This
described the history, architecture and famous residents from Byron to Jeffrey
Archer via Dave Gilmour and a host of Nobel Prize winners.
On
Wednesday I retrieved my rotovator from Adrian and prepared land for Peas,
cabbage, cauliflowers, Broad beans and calabrese. In the evening it was Over
Garden club and a talk about staging a Chelsea Flower Show stand which left the
impression why bother!
I
was determined to make the Thursday walk this week to buy a round to mark my
birthday. I managed about 7 miles but Kate and I took a bit of a short cut –
still progress nonetheless!
We
started at Barrow near Newmarket and took in Great Saxham, Hargrave and Denham
on a gloriously sunny day.

Biographies
on Friday featured Lord Ashfield famous for uniting the Railways as London
Transport.

In
the afternoon it was Clary Chapman’s funeral. He was the father of Linda and
Carol who were members of Covenanters.
I
watched Over Reserves draw 1 v 1 with Cottenham in bright sunshine.
Healthwise
I have been improving but still not 100%
Best
Wishes
Mike
& Kate
