Where there's a will . . .

Memo to John Wilkes.

Having lost half a year from the golf course because of ten year's rain that fell in that time, I was walking near your apartment in Poole when I came across the answer to all our problems.





Perhaps this picture reminded me of you looking for your golf ball, which made me understand why you hadn't come across the example of an all weather golf buggy right on your doorstep!

If we go 50/50 and hook it up to your car we can go all over Dorset..

The attendant was calling in another swan while I was thinking about making an offer for this one.
 "Come in 99" he called.
"We've only got 70 swans"; said his mate.
"Are you in trouble number 66?"



So it's old: but so are we!

I must go down to the sea again - it's quite nice if you stay away from Wareham.

You have seen something of this seascape before, but I thought you could stand it again. We are on Hamworthy beach at Poole looking out over to the Purbeck Hills today, Good Friday 26 March.
This is where people with dogs throw sticks and old tennis balls and other oddments into the water for their dogs to fetch. Some dogs are cleverer than others and don't fetch them.

I don't think that is the chimney of a house in the foreground, but you never know. Dorset is full of surprises like Bournemouth being higher up the premiership than a few other well known football clubs; and deservedly so.

 For golfers, the Isle of Purbeck Golf Club is on the left end of the hills. Looks like this if you are over there looking back. As my course at Canford Magna has been sold and all the buggies with it, I shouldn't be surprised if I find my way over there sometime ot other with my friend John Wilkes.

Haven't written a blog for some time. My better half has been quite poorly of late, but hopefully recovering. Anybody wants a well qualified head cook and bottlewasher, give me a ring, although I'm a bit slow. Somewhat forgetful too. Went to Wareham yesterday and forgot you have to put money in a machine for parking.The traffic warden didn't, the swine. If you do not pay on time, the fine is almost twice what I paid for our first car!!  Still doesn't seem as bad as if it had happened in Northamptonshire.

I was 90 last Monday so if you forgot to send a card I am still accepting money.
