11th February 2008 - Down on the Range

The golf season is not far off now, soon the clocks will go forward for British Summer Time and I'll be able to meet my golf mates for a few holes after work.

My game was very poor last season and I've spent a lot of time at the driving range over the winter, working on my swing and just hitting balls off into the night in an effort to get my game back for the coming season and regain some form.

Last night was the first night in a long time that there was still some colour left in the sky when I got to the range.

10th February 2008 - Spring still Sprung

Spring is still well and truely sprung. This week has been wall to wall sunshine which gives me an excuse to post another picture from my walk in the woods on Sunday morning.

10th February 2008 - Busta and the Snowdrops

It would appear that Spring is finally here. OK, so it's not late for Spring, but this Winter has been miserable and seems to have dragged on and on, and frankly I'm sick of it.

We looked after my other half's two nephews and their Golden Retriever, Busta, this weekend. As it was a beautiful Spring morning we decided to pay a visit to Coombe Abbey park. Whilst they went to play on the swings and climbing frames I took Busta for a walk in the woods. It was gorgeous, the warm sun burning off the early morning frost and mist, birds singing in the trees and hardly a soul about. I couldn't have been happier.

Busta was a very willing and obedient model and I managed to get him to pose in this crop of Snowdrops.

I hope this is a sign of things to come and the dull grey days of Winter are finally behind us for another year.
