Right out the blue this week, I received an e-mail from Phil Daley.
He is a producer for the Morning show on BBC Radio Norfolk.
The e-mail said that he had stumbled across my web site and that I had got him Intrigued.
I replied to his e-mail as he said he would like to chat to me.
Today I missed his call but he wants me to call him back….. so out of curiosity that’s just what I shall do on Monday

As you can see my son passed his theory driving test, his first attempt at it too.
I was so nervous for him.
As he has matured he has become more confident and I am sure he will do well at what ever he decides to do with his life.
For now he is very happy working in the kitchen of a fish and chip restaurant in Swaffham. Hes worked there since he was 16 and must love it as it takes 2 bus journeys to get there.
Being able to drive will open up a whole new world for him.

I start to get very busy at work soon.
In the lead up to Christmas my fish sales will likely double.
This is due mainly to the great offers I will have on whole salmon and sides of salmon.
Another interesting thing is that this year I will also be selling fresh Carp in the week leading up to Christmas.
Carp is a delicacy for the polish at Christmas so some supermarkets will be selling it this year.which will hopefully prevent poachers depleting British rivers of carp.
I believe the polish usually like there Carp to be alive when they buy it, and would keep it in the bath tub till needed, but thankfully the ones I will be selling will already be dead.
On Sunday we went to Wansford to meet up with the High Sheriff 
of Cambridgeshire.
He was doing a 10 mile walk in aid of his charity and we went along to support him.
I knew nothing about the High Sheriff, his charity or what his job involves, but thanks to Jane who runs the charity I now know a little more about it all..
This is what she had to say…….
“As you may know, High Sheriffs are appointed each year in the counties of England and Wales. The Office of High Sheriff is at least 1,000 years old, having its roots in Saxon times, before the Norman Conquest. High Sheriffs are responsible for duties conferred by the Crown, including attendance at Royal visits to the county and the protection of Her Majesty’s High Court Judges when on Circuit in the county. a personal responsibility for fundraising throughout their year in office. The money raised is used in the High Sheriff’s Award Scheme. The High Sheriff’s Award Scheme was set up in Cambridgeshire over 10 years ago to recognise achievement and give grants to proje
cts which enable young people to make a positive contribution to their communities.
In addition to their official duties, High Sheriffs take on
The current High Sheriff (Colonel Peter Horrell) who you met today, decided to raise money for the High Sheriff Award Scheme by undertaking a sponsored walk – which you took part in today!. The training Peter undertook was part of his recovery to full health following the donation of a kidney in early July 2007.
My charity, Cambridgeshire Community Foundation, manages the High Sheriff’s Award Scheme – background on CCF is on website - www.cambscf.org.uk“
There was 10 of us altogether and the walk took us from Wansford into Peterborough Cathedral ,we walked along the Nene river which was very nice.
The High Sheriff’s mother provided us with much welcome coffee and biscuits at the half way mark.
A very enjoyable walk with some very interesting people and the Sheriff kept up a fast pace for some one recovering from a kidney donation.
With the colder days and nights now here, it means no more swimming for us
in the river cam.
But now the nights are getting down to almost below freezing , its the perfect time to get the hot tub cleaned filled and ready for use.
So that’s what we did at the week-end and of course we then had to try it out to make sure it was all in working order.
I have to be careful in the hot tub as I have been known to pass out if I stay in it too long….although I am perfectly suited too the sauna, which I just love.
