06/03/21 Braintree and John Ray

I sent my email to the NHS person (see previous post) and within a few moments this came back:

Please note I am away from the office until Monday 8 March.  If your matter is urgent please ring 0113 2433144 and ask for a Haematology secretary.

This morning's email included a reply from the supposedly out-of-conatct Professor XXXX:

Thank you Ian. Very helpful indeed

A new destination for today's exercise, and one we'll certainly be returning to - Braintree and Bocking Public Gardens, Very pleasant, lots of benches, and plenty of variety of paths so you can "go round twice" for more steps without going over the same ground in the same direction too much. It will be better still in a couple of months when the many fine trees will be in full leaf.

The history of the gardens goes back to the Courtauld family (yes, that one) and there is also a section that commemorates local man John Ray:
