In hopeful anticipation of a long hot summer we now have
a small marquee in the garden. On hot sunny days residents and visitors can sit out in the garden and enjoy
the fresh air without getting sun-burnt.
Our picture shows some visitors relaxing in the shade.
Recent outings
In April we first visited Ely market, looking for bargains. Next we visited
Denver Mill and had tea and scones by the waterside. Lastly we visited Ely waterfront and saw the birds and the boats including
youngsters in canoes. There we had tea and cake in the Maltings restaurant.
In
May we visited the Long Sutton Flower Festival. This is held in Long Sutton Parish Church and was a very
popular attraction with many other visitors. The following week we visited Houghton Mill. Unfortunately
this was not open on the day we visited but we had an interesting ride through the countryside and each had an ice-cream in
Houghton village.
