Christchurch Food Festival

From Gary Rhodes's restaurant for lunch to a Harvester for dinner in the same day through to Iranian kebabs in town the next week. That is how we roll around here.

That reminds me, the Christchurch Food Festival is coming up at the begining of May.

Having sat up early in bed browsing Westover Gallery's website we both seemed to agree on the same piece once we popped into the gallery.

Richard Rowan does quite stunning landscapes although Ange did like one by another artist that looked like something that your English nan would have but I quickly sidestepped that one. This artist had a beautiful piece on glass that was absolutely stunning but 5-G is a bit much to pay. Not won the lottery just yet.

The one we chose should offset the magnolia wall in the lounge no end!

Richard Rowan, Stepping through time

I finally got the letter from the mortgage company that says because of my tracker mortgage follows the base rate at a discounted level, it actually means that this month my mortgage interest level is 0%, that is a monthly payment of £0! Whoo hoo.

I doubt I will see that happen again though, although if it does then that means the economy has messed up big time again.

Time to buy a new pair of shoes.

Angela won a round of golf at the recent Tits 4 Tat charity event.

Matt her brother-in-law was down so we decided to use the voucher donated by Ashley Wood Golf Club in Blandford Forum, Dorset. The rules at private golf clubs can be a bit strict so not having golf shoes or a bag of clubs (as we assumed you could hire some there) was a bit embarassing, but they were very charitable.

It's a really nice course and we spent a leisurely four hours or so getting round it. Only had to let one pair play through. An interesting course and everyone was nice even given my blatant rule breaking!

I even parred a hole in 3 shots.
