Busy Days

WEDNESDAY we went for a 5 mile walk with the Ramblers.  We started off at Foresters Park Golf Club in Great Totham and 2 and half hours returned feeling completely knackered!  Well at least I know I can do it.  We then had lunch at the Golf Club which was nice.  Nice to sit down!  My poor legs.

In the evening Standing Committee meeting at the Rectory.  There was only Ian, Graham, Stuart and me.  We think Michael had forgotten or rather was not aware of the meeting.  I think it was a fairly productive meeting for the first one of the year and all new members!

THURSDAY Ian and I went on a coach trip to London with Stan's Coaches, called Hidden London.  We had a very good guide who told us lots about parts of London. 

This photo is around St Batholomew's Hospital.  Actually the ward where Mark was was to the right of the photo.  This is by the entrance to the church.  Our guide told us of all the films where St Batholomew's Church has featured, one famous one being "Four Weddings and a Funeral". 

We then went on a boat on the canal which went past lots of very nice houses and then past London Zoo.  We stopped at Camden Market.  Ian and I had something hot to eat from one of the little food stalls because I was feeling a bit cold.  Then met by the coach and back home again.  We were in rush hour traffic and it seemed to be taking ages to get out of London.  I phone Peter next door and asked him if he would pop in a let Charlie out for a wee!  Eventually got home at about 7.30pm.  Felt tired.



 FRIDAY was admin day.  Letter and forms for Anna to claim Payment Protection  Insurance on a couple of her bank accounts.  Also had to do the minutes of the Standing Committee meeting and the agenda for next PCC meeting.  The day just seemed to whizz by!

SATURDAY was a bit brighter so Ian and I went out in the garden during the morning.  I planted baby leeks and some more carrot seeds.  Ian tidied up the greenhouse for the grow bags for the tomato plants.  It started to rain a bit so came inside for some lunch.  Then into Chelmer Village to look at tablets (the electronic sort).  Not many 7" screens, mainly 10" which is a bit bigger than I was wanting - not so portable.  Back for Sainsbury delivery at 4pm.

Susie and Laurence were supposed to be coming this weekend but Susie was not feeling well.  We tried to re-arrange but our diaries did not coincide!  Maybe in the summer months.
