At long last we give a golfing update……. The chaps dodged the weather well this week and managed to have an excellent day at Townley, http://www.burnley.gov.uk/site/scripts/documents_info.php?categoryID=1165&documentID=152

in what proved to be warm sunshine. Off came those ‘wets,’ as the only wet being generated was the perspiration of the physically exerted!!!!! Despite being somewhat wet underfoot the chaps enjoyed a good round, four of them playing this week, two against two. Paul and Matt won the round by one point however, Grenville has now gone off to Spain for eight days of golf so with a bit of luck the return match such prove interesting!!!

The Easter school holidays have now started for Lancashire so I thought it might be interesting to take a look at what is happening.

April 20^th – Cronkshaw fold farm are having a lamb and piglet day where children will be given the opportunity to bottle feed the lambs and play with the piglets. The day begins at 11am and finishes at 4pm. Should be an interesting and cute day for all the children.

We had a ‘small’ family birthday party for our eldest up at The Hargreaves Arms last night (Sunday). Eighteen of us enjoyed an excellent meal and Paul even brought in a couple of bottles of the birthday boy’s favourite wine (cheers Paul). The food was excellent and the staff were great. All 18 meals were served together and each guest thoroughly enjoyed their food. It was a super night but why oh why do we have to have ‘the morning after!!’

Happy Birthday for tomorrow, Jonpaul.
