7th June 2026

 

           Dear All,

After swimming on Monday I had an MRI scan on my arm which is often numb, I haven’t had a result yet. 13mm rain on Monday night was a welcome relief.

A special annoyance this week was my phone locking “As an additional security measure!” As I couldn’t unlock I couldn’t call Kate for a lift from the guided bus and had to get “Stan the Computer Man” to sort it. This required deleting everything and reinstating later.

In the garden the main task this week was leek planting but also planting additional sweet corn, squash and lettuce.

Raspberries and strawberries have come on stream, strawberries are good but the raspberries rather small.

 


 

I managed part of the Thursday walk from Fen Drayton this week. It was a good walking temperature but rather windy.

John Lane called with a surprise gift of Marmalade and chili sauce on Friday. Both cricket matches were rained off on Saturday.
