what a little masterpiece - now has a happy home in my gazebo

Gazebo in the middle of my rose garden - just the right spot for such a special gift
Thank you Chelsea!

After a mixed weather day we are happy to say that after only one little hiccup where the field had to be brought in for a short period of electrical disturbance the golf event of the day went ahead as scheduled with just a few light showers and mostly a very pleasant afternoon for the late starters.

Our playing partners today were Peter and Sandy Laybutt and fortunately we were late starters and did not have to enter the field until after the electrical storm so we only suffered a few light showers that were of little consequence. Peter and Sandy were great company and we did have some highlights with the two boys both scoring birdies, Peter Martin scoring 38 points and beaten on a countback for second place in the singles event.  We have been trying to have a game with Peter and Sandy for some time and have been beaten by the weather each time - this time we succeeded and had a lovely day on the village green that is looking greener every day with this very welcome rain.
