Keeping going

John Wilkes and I played golf together for three years.
Bearing in mind our ages and state of health it would be more truthful to say "we played at it!".

The owners sold our first and favourite course so that it could be turned into an academy for Bournemouth Football Club.  No comment other than look for them in the Premier League

                               
Many clubs have problems these days!



For a really happy time we found a second heaven every Tuesday at Wareham Golf Club.
However, health, age and other problems that hit both equally hard overcame us.
Surprisingly,  heaven can disappear in a very short period of time.

But now, working hard at putting aside our troubles, we are learning to live again: Tuesday is now "going out to eat day". 
Why Tuesday?  Well firstly it was our golf day. Secondly it is getting on towards the weekend which means it is not too long until Tuesday again. Sound Irish? Try it - you'll be surprised.

Each of us has own fancies when it comes to eating, but occasionally you may be lucky enough to come across a restaurant that almost everyone thinks is the best or very close to it.

Seafood there is in abundance in Poole, although like all foods some is better than others. The Poole Arms, on Poole Quay is among the very best. It  has the background to prove this - it has been there getting on for 400 years.

This picture of me, grandson Jack, daughter Alison and Jack's partner Sammy may offer an idea of the Poole Arms character.

If you ever come to Poole you now have somewhere to aim for.

Many thanks to all who replied to my last blog. Fantastic replies and some telephone calls.
Keep it up please; something good to which I can look forward.
