Bowls and all that ...




I've been telling you about all the refurbishment that has been going on in our Village. These pics signal the opening of the resurfaced bowling green. As past president/secretary/enthusiast and now life-member, they asked me to open the green by putting down the first bowl. That meant a few words to the assembled bowlers, and then the all important business. It was a day of rain but we had a clear period for the occasion. You can see the wet on the green. The fellow watching to see that I did it right is the manager, Ian Pendergast. A good fellow but doesn't know how to pronounce his name properly. Insists that it rhymes with eon instead of as in ion. To coin a phrase, it takes all to make a world.

  1. The new green looks good Dad. I'm glad they suitably recognised your greatness. I wish you could keep bowling. I know how much you loved it.
    See you soon

  2. Hi Pa, it looks very fancy, if a little damp. Hope it was a good day. J x
