Picked Oscar up then Monty Milo and fudge and went onto the golf...

Soaked next picked Bruce up and quick walk for Osric then over to see charlie and beau, rain eased off a bit but Bruce and beau didn't fancy it. Over to pick Humphrey up, haven't had him for a while and up to olive... Rain still coming down as we had the field... Surprisingly ... To our selves.. Next double trouble and  trip to Romsley..
