April
Helen visited at the
beginning of the month: our local
church visit this time was to Dumbleton.
Jay had a fortnight off
school for Easter, and we arranged several days’ additional riding for her,
plus a hack in the country accompanied by Teresa: click here for a report.

Roger’s bowling club
opened its rink on 18 April – to a torrential downpour which prevented any
play. By the end of the month, games
rained off still exceeded games played.
Tempted by a Rover spring
sale, we decided to upgrade Rovy. This
may have seemed ungrateful, as it had given no trouble and was running well,
but we have kept cars too long in the past.
Farewell Rovy
The new car is another
Rover 45, silver grey, and with some of the extras that Rovy lacked – though
not in the performance department I hasten to add.
On the last day of the
month, new neighbours moved into the house next door, though we have not met
them as yet. The sale had taken about
three months to go through.
