I have been to St Andrews twice on holiday, and I love the place.
Have decided that Rory McIlroy is my current favourite.
On the other hand, I feel I cannot root for Ian Poulter because of his choice in golfing trews. they look like ladies’ pjs!
Today we went to Ashby De La Zouche, and enjoyed the indoor market [in the old Victorian Market Hall] and the Farmers Market behind Mount Grace School. Lots to see and sample there!
The Hot Four were playing Great Jazz…
[‘hot’ in what sense exactly?]
Beautiful soft fruits here
Bob was busy working at home – so I got him some “Smoked Goat” cheese from the Wobbly Bottom Man! He comes all the way from Hertfordshire to sell this [website here]
Then we went for tea-and-a-toasted-teacake, and I bought some wool [holiday knitting project] in Bangles and Tat [see here]
Then on to the Furnace at Moira [finally Chris understood, she thought ‘visiting Moira’ meant calling on a lady of that name, and I had forgotten to explain it was a place!]
It was really raining hard as we drove there…
…but the rain held off whilst we were walking outside
Inside was fascinating, lots to see
…the Victorian Worker’s cottage was great!
A snack lunch in the nearby eatery, then home again [to watch some more golf!!]
What a lovely day, if rather damp in places.
Love you pics,. Bluebell and myself had a great day at Ashby del a zouch recently .
ReplyDeleteI also like to watch golf occasionally but don,t understand it--cottonreel
Looks like an interesting day. Especially the smoked goat's cheese from the Wobbly Bottom Man!
ReplyDeleteWe're a bit damp here too.
As a graduate of St Andrews University, the town is very dear to me. I played one round of golf there, scoring a birdie at the 8th. I'll gloss over how I did on the other holes!!
ReplyDeletePS It was not on the Old Course - the course I was on is no longer there!
Love the river boat! Can we see the yarn or is it a secret?
ReplyDeleteI am a golf convert after watching the open when pregnant with Maxi. I really got in to it and love it. Looks like you had a fab day. I always think of crisp when I see the sign for Asby!
