U3A Visits




The roses this month have been wonderful and responded to the cold winter by being stronger than before. Though 6 tons of horse manure may also have something to do with it! The dryer weather seems to have held back some roses which are just coming out which isgood as we have an open day on June 27th and would like some to hang in there.

We have been very busy with visits. Two by U3A (university of the third age) who were almost down the Roman well which is about 2000 years old and still has water at the bottom. A mature student from the University is going to spend 3 years on the Roman site here as material for his PhD. They are starting with a geophys survey which will be very interesting as it shows where all the buildings on the site would have been. The whole site has not been mapped out so thoroughly before.
