While the weather is still so good, I suggested it would be nice to get out and about in the mornings to build up Mal’s strength. I suggested we drive to Wickhambreaux. We used to walk here when we lived in Preston. It is such a lovely walk along the Little Stour and of course Ellie loves jumping in and out of the river. It was just as lovely as ever, so peaceful and we didn’t see a soul.
Then a quiet afternoon at home as Mal regained his energy.
Slav called round. He is the neighbour who Mal and I introduced to the Jubilee Centre and he has been working so hard sorting out the gardens, opening and closing the centre when it is being used etc etc. all voluntarily. The rest of the trustees treat him really badly and Mal has decided he will have nothing to do with the centre any more. I did notify them when Mal was in hospital and to leave him alone. The chairman of the trustees ignored me and even rang him when he was in hospital.
The problem was they wanted everyone else to do the work and they would stand back and get the glory! So, Slav came round saying they had just called a meeting and sacked him!! He is the only one who has been doing all the work, the idiots. Obviously Slav was upset and Mal reconfirmed that was why he was walking away from it all. Far too much stress.
