Well it seems I have been a little slow at updating things for a while. We have been very busy but that’s no excuse not to find the time. We have a very full life with visitors staying and all the activities we do. I have joined the gym and Matt has been picked to play soccer for the first 11 at school. A great achievement as no other junior pupils play for the team. He is pleased as punch as you can well imagine.

We had great fun on Sunday as we all played in a children’s golf competition. They had to be partnered by an adult. As we have 2 children one of them had to draw the short straw and partner me! Hmmm they both played the martyr and offered to partner me but it was decided that as Tom was the youngest he’d play with his dad. We assumed, wrongly, that Matt would be the better player. We had forgotten that due to 2 cadet camps Matt had had less lessons than Tom. It was great fun though and we will start playing more as a family. As it turned out I played really well, a fluke of course but I enjoyed it anyway!
