Today at the club, we had our Annual General Meeting followed by a delicious three course lunch to celebrate the end of another golfing season. The year's prizes were announced ( I won the Div 1 Silver Spoon ) and then there was entertainment and dancing. In the photo above are from left Dawn (who is 82 and still plays 18 holes off a 21 handicap), Jane, me, Jan (who was this year's captain) and Sue.

My day off today and I spent the morning with Tash and her little god-daughter Bethany and Bethany's mum Amy and Amy's mum , Rosemary. We took the dogs to the park and sat in the glorious sunshine with a coffee.


Rusty and Amy's dog, Roger.

The par 3 fifth green... I took this photo for two reasons....the amazing sky and the fact that I hit the ball out of that front bunker and into the hole for a birdie. Pete and I had a lovely game with Jo and Don Lamont.

At last, some warm weather on a Saturday morning....Margot took this photo of us ladies after our swim.


Whilst I was at the beach, James the painter arrived to paint the family room ceiling. This is the last of the painting as Pete has finished all the other rooms. I now have a wonderfully bright and clean looking home.
