TOM AND MARGES 80TH

Had hoped to have loads of pictures to accompany this blog ,but true to form the batteries on my camera gave out the second I switched on,and thats having changed them before leaving home.Anyway Charlie said he will e mail some so all is not lost.but how to get them from an e mail to a blog is another matter,so all may be lost.
Well we travelled down on Saturday afternoon to Rich and Als to spend the night there as the do wasn't until Sunday.We went out for a really nice curry in the evening.It was slightly different from the usual run of the mill restaurants as it specialised in veggie curries which were very nice and different.
Sunday dawned wet and miserable.Before going to the do we went to the local golf discount store to get Charlies birthday presents he will be 14 in a couple of days time.Rich ended up spending £200 on a set of clubs!!!!.
To the do.This was held at the RAC CLUB Woodcote Park as Tom is a member there.It brought back lots of memories as Rich and I were members there when we live in Ashtead as was my Father.I learnt to play golf there and it seemed as though little has changed from all those years ago.It really is an impressive place and both Rich and I were privileged to be members,although at the time we didn't realise it and probably took it all for granted.The do was excellent and held in one of the clubs private rooms,some 60 people attended with a menu of Smoked salmon,watercress soup,noisettes of lamb, tart tatin,coffee and wine.There were plenty of speeches ,with Tom being in his element.
Lyn and I decided to drive back to Norfolk after the event and a cup of tea at Rich and Als,and i must admit it was nice driving north rather than south,and it was really good to get back Home.
Today was supposed to be my first round of golf in many many years.I was due to ply at Swaffham golf club with some other villagers but unfortunately the weather was foul, and after waiting at the club for two hours it was decided to call it a day as there looked to be no break in the rain.Of course its stopped now,and it even looks if the sun is going to come out.
On the picture front,we continue to collect and have another 6 or so since my last blog.
