Catching up and Keeping Updated



As usual an apology for the lack of input - the summer months are so busy for me. So in order to keep things simple I'll make a short entry about each 'topic' and hope to keep my public from being bored to death by my rambling.......So First Up and Rally Season is upon us with the Fenlanders 19th East of England Rally taking place at the end of July at Fakenham Racecourse, Norfolk.


As secretary of the Chapter this has been a busy time for me and all of the committee members in getting ready for this years event.


Rugby - The world cup starts early September and finishes 23rd October - with games being televised from New Zealand and broadcast early monring, I can see Beer with Breakfast becoming the norm for a few weekends! M.Chabal is a TV pundit for a French TV station given that he did not get selected for the French squad.


Racing Metro 92 are in Pool 2 of the Heineken Cup and will be playing Edinburgh, Cardiff Blues and London Irish - a superb draw and i shall certainly be booking tickets for a number of games and with any luck get in a couple of trips to Paris.


Garden - well that has also kept me and Woz busy and this year we have planted, sowed and potted up a bumper crop of lovely veggies and soft fruits which should fill the freezer and keep our food bill down through the winter.


The Hens - are currently at peak laying with eggs every day and extremely delicious they are too :)


The Dogs - Ruairi and Izzy get along just fine now with Ruairi now 3 years old and Izzy 5 1/2 and very much settled into life at five sheds. Daily walks keep them and Woz fit and healthy. And talking of which Woz and I have reached the 8th month of our smoke free campaign and feel very pleased with our progress.


The House - slowly but surely the renovations are gradually being completed with just a small amount of work left.
