SAD NEWS
Early February, Dave Leishman informed all members of the recent demise of
Esther Ratsma, a METHS member since the AGM meet in the Northern Lake District
in September 2013. Always friendly and
unassuming, yet not afraid to voice her opinions, Esther will be remembered for
her fitness and keenness always to do the longest variants and an extra
distance on many of our hikes.
Members’
movements
Sally and Rupert spent the first half of April
in Sri Lanka, with a daughter and two grandchildren. Good weather, hot. Nice circuit including main sights; learned a
lot about local farming and cooking practices, spices, tea, also elephants and
turtles.
In early May Carol & Neil Lawford had a week on Jersey. Marvellous sunny weather, albeit still too
cold to risk going into the sea.
