 May 17th

First a garden update... the potatoes are doing very well in their bags and I have runner beans on the way and rainbow chard. 

My plants have been a good food source for some little creatures though which has been a bit of a challenge!

The orange and green netting weighted down with old bits of wood is to discourage a cat from using my lovely turned ground as a litter tray! I was not happy!

The mint, chives and herbs also seem to be fairly happy!

Tim headed off back to London and now I have Bridgie here which is lovely.

She is working three days this week but we sneaked down for her to play a few holes...she used to join me from time to time when I first started playing.

Laptop needed plugging in directly to router!

The funniest thing was being on the green for one on the 12th and out-driving me on the final hole!

We had fun!

The previous Friday I went up to Falmouth for a Rules meeting at Falmouth Golf Club which overlooks Swanpool.

The 13th May is a day for lovely memories so I went early and drove round Castle Drive and parked out on the end...

The trees were beautiful

I went on to the meeting (which was a very useful two hour session) and when that was all done I parked down by Swanpool lake and had a walk round to Gyllingvase and back along Maderia Walk.

Across the beach passing the beach huts

Gyllingvase was quite seaweedy!

I then walked up and around the road and down to the path that goes along between two sections of the cemetery.

Madeira Walk - so gentle

Then I walked back for a final look at the beach - the sun was out and it was breathtaking. It was a special day.

We also had a League match up at Newquay - I'd never played there before so it was very interesting!

Our team managed a win too which was an added bonus!

I also played at the Spring County Meeting and somehow fluked a win!

Unlikely to ever win a County Trophy again so I made the most of it!

It has to be said there were only 9 of us in the competition!

That brings us up to date just about!
