Robin,

Thanks for sharing your trip. My favorite is the church and graveyard shot.

Cheers

I love looking at those pics.

I was wondering… why is the grass so brown around the Golf Course? Is that unusual? I thought it would still be green this time of year.

Not being 'into' golf myself, I am not sure where this event took place, but many parts of the United Kingdom are suffering virtual drought conditions. We just experienced the driest and hottest July on record! Whilst some clouds have rolled in during August and it has been a little cooler, some areas have recently had flooding due to some massive thunderstorms. However, down here in this part of the south of England we've had one brief thunderstorm with about three minutes of light rain which did no good at all. The hosepipe ban, imposed in June last year, is still very much in force, most car-wash facilities are closed and civic fountains have been turned off (although they recycle their water, the fountains still need topping-up regularly!).

It is no wonder that the grass is the colour it is. I undertand that golf courses are permitted to water the actual greens, but nowhere else.

I take this opportunity of asking everyone who knows the steps, to get out there and do a neat Rain Dance on our behalf - please!!!
