12th...to the 21st June

12th to 21st June

The wet weather continued during the day with occasional breaks. At 12 noon, Geoff who is the men's Captain (he was also Captain in my year) was doing some fundraising. He planned to play 7 rounds in 24 hours, starting at 12 noon.

Here he is about to start, with Andy the owner of the club.

Geoff had lined up 7 guys to help it out, and some got a better deal than others. His second round was in absolutely torrential rain... by the beginning of the fourth round he had already used 3 changes of clothes!

I popped down again about 11.30 pm to see them playing in the dark and it was so exciting!

They had balls that lit up when you hit them and stayed bright for several minutes, and the hung glow sticks on the flagpoles although they weren't really effective enough.

They played through the night with a short break and finished at 12 noon on Saturday. He raised about £2,600 which was fabulous!

Altogether it was great fun, and it made me want to be playing!

The wet weather eventually cleared up and i went down to play a few holes in the evening... the sky was amazing.

Assorted other pictures... I played golf on Monday and Wednesday and then again on Saturday.

On Thursday Bridgie and I were chatting and she was wondering about coming down now that it was allowed if she was my bubble.  You can imagine how excited I became!

I took ages to get to sleep that night and spent Friday doing lots of cleaning in preparation!




I played golf Saturday morning then came home doing a few finishing off jobs... then went to collect Bridgie.

(I also had to check one of my tyres as it seems to slowly lose pressure.)




After travelling on the train she was keen to get out and seee the sea so we drove down to Cape and had a little walk.

It was very windy and not very warm so we needed coats!

Here she is!

So to today...Sunday 21st June... Father's day... we had a lovely family zoom... followed by Bridgie and I walking down the Cot Valley.

Last night there had been torrential rain along with the wind but today became sunny and beautiful.

The cliff fall at Porth Nanven has grown even bigger and you can see more parts of it that look ready to fall . The footpath is completely covered.

But there was lots of sand and it was looking beautiful

It is so lovely to have Bridgie here - so special.
