In the final two paragraphs there was no description of a huge, ney an enormous, golf course packed with golfers replaying the British Open, or of the need to traverse at least four fairways. Fortunately while marooned halfway down the 18th and with a dog on lead Kerry eventually found the solution. She suggested that we wait for a line of geese to pass by and then just follow them. Luckily we did not have to wait long since from out of the long grass emerge a line of geese which led us to the grand Club house (see photographs - Gary I am sure you will be interested in the guides and club accommodation) and introduced us to the Chef. The Chef was the only person we could engage who knew that the path round to the toilets was actually part of the Penine Way or something sounding similar. With renewed hope we set off for the toilets and eventually after another short detour round the thirteenth green we were back on track for Prestbury, ending the ramble with only two bogies and a string of large birdies.
Having some spare time on our hands this week, due to the prevalence of rain, we have been busy re-decorating the dining room at 265 Oxford Road. We have also added a major water feature to the garden (See photographs, -- Dave and Val we hope you approve).
During a visit to Chatsworth House Kerry suddenly decided that the surroundings felt familiar and that she must be descended from Royal blood. Therefore we have embarked on a search for potential ancestors. The attached photograph shows some promising signs.
We are taking our house-sitting seriously. The cheetah prowling the garden has been captured and domesticated and Bella the spaniel has been mountaineering.

Fantastic - we're so impressed with the new dining room that we've decided to stay out here for a few more weeks in the hope that the bedrooms will undergo similar refurbishment.
By the way, I'm reliably informed that the cheetah's an excellent swimmer, so no worries about him falling in the water feature...
Sorry I haven't time to add a comment to this blog as i'm far too busy getting ready for the 21st Whitby,for which the weather forecast is excellant.No cumulonimbus clouds expected!
I thought the photo of K.L.in your last blog was a great picture,but why had Gary airbrushed out the pub which Kerry was obviously just leaving?
Have a good reunion.
Hi guys,
You will have heard by now that Bracks quit on Thursday, so did Thwaites. Brumby will be head honcho from next week I believe. Whitby will be full steam ahead now.....I have read John's last comment, he seems to be getting more famous everyday!!! Gary replied re: Grahams comment about antipodians, but left it after your previous entry...I'm sure you will have noticed it. Well, I hope all is well with you.....you need some of that Greece weather, I heard they reached a scorching 48 degrees last week. Just cut the front and back lawns, doesn't quite look as good as your gardening efforts re: water feature. I need to do some weeding now.
Love Kerry
p.s John, no pub was airbrushed out of the picture, Gary had just suggested we visit the next one we found!!!
Col, I hope by resemblence in pic you mean the stunning jaw line etc and not the tan!
Love the garden, perhaps kerry-Lou will have rigged up something similar at home by your return! If only we had the water to put in it.
Hope the sun keeps shining.
