Blue skies and sunshine was a good start for our favourite game of golf on the village green. Our playing partners today were Duncan and Rosalie Dyer and it seemed that we had the course to ourselves playing our 18 holes with no one in front of us and no one behind all day (thus no photo as we did not have a photographer on hand) finishing our 18 holes in just 4 hours. We had a very pleasant day albeit a little warm at times with some good highlights along the way.
