Knights jousting in full armour, medieval musicians, and glasses of mead provided the backdrop to a fun medieval dinner in Chatteris. The medieval fayre was a great success last year (unlike my attempts at archery with the authentic long bow) and this year the week-end included a medieval dinner with a host of characters in medieval dress. Sat next to Chatteris Mayor Peter Murphy and Cllr Alan Melton meant plenty of great anecdotes over dinner as we enjoyed the sights and sounds of the medieval games. A fun evening and am sure now a fixture in the Chatteris diary.
Take time off on Saturday afternoon to watch the key 2nd British Lions rugby test against South Africa in The Griffin in March. Great match and the Lions were hard done by losing 28 - 25 with the last kick of the match. Simon Shaw was outstanding. Then on Saturday it was dinner of a different kind as Karen and I headed over to the East of England Showground in Peterborough for an NFU dinner. A chance to catch up on the farming news amongst friends, although conversation frequently returns to the rugby.
Sunday meet up in Wisbech for lunch at a friend’s house before heading over to Elm to enjoy a local garden opened up especially for the week-end to raise money for Parkinson’s. A gorgeous garden, and tea and cake on the lawn listening to local singers are a perfect way to round off the week-end.
