I played Gleneagles on the last Friday of April - there were 12 of us going, but there was one late withdrawal so I got in touch with brother-in-law Brian Hanson and he agreed to come along - and ended up winning it! I was being driven down to Gleneagles so I was at the golf club nice and early to organise my gear. What a beautiful morning it was:
Still on a golf-y theme, I was playing at Banchory last week under cloudless skies and two planes traversed high above us, leaving jet trails behind them:
Momentarily, it looked like a giant St. Andrews cross but I don't think the picture quite does justice to what we saw with the naked eye.
Last weekend was our first Boat of Garten outing this year. Whilst it was a glorious 21C further west, it was positively Baltic at Grantown on Sunday - although thankfully dry. There were 16 of us there and I was the organiser again as I won it last time, but I am phasing out of organising all our golf outings - as I've done for nearly 30 years now - and am passing it all on to others in our group. I've still got plenty of other interests, so don't worry, I won't get bored. There's River Dee Radio and our Freewheelers cycling group for starters.
We've got the second in our entertaining/dinner evenings coming up on Saturday and again we've been hit by a cancellation - although thankfully we got a bit of notice this time so we were able to find replacements - coincidentally the couple who cancelled the last time!
Trying to organise our trip to London in October for the wine fair just now and hoping to see a show or two at the same time, but what a cost the West End is nowadays!
Need to get organised for the Fringe as well - plus another trip to Edinburgh to see how Ross is doing.
