It has been a much nicer day today with lots of sunshine - the wind is much less which has made it feel warmer albeit the background temperature is only 60F; it is forecast to get warmer in the next few days - up to 80F but there is an accompanying risk of thunderstorms.

If you go down to the woods today.....
We played golf at Oyster Reef today which is a good course.  There were some lovely houses tucked in the pines - some with quirky garden features!

We were buddied with a Canadian couple from Toronto - Reed and Barbara; they were good company and they have asked us to play with them tomorrow at Port Royal Course.  Ben took the honours today - mainly because Liz's 'red hot' putter cooled off!  My highlight was a birdie on the signature par 3 hole (pictured). After a drink in the Clubhouse we stopped at the Fresh Market to buy pizza for supper.

Saturday 14th Harbour Town in the sun! We packed everything up and left the condo at 10.00 am.  We did not need to be at the airport until early evening so we had a trip to Harbour Town followed by a shrimp lunch in the 'Salty Dog' which is always a treat.  The trip to Atlanta was uneventful in good weather.  We had a comfortable flight back in our business class beds which is a very civilized way to travel.  We landed on Sunday morning and were home by lunchtime. We are now 'self isolating' for 7 days (at least Liz is!) and watching the worrying national developments where the current advice is not to mix with anyone - they are discussing mandating self isolation for the over 70s for the conceivable future.

Friday the13th March The day dawned with blue skies and a gentle breeze and a temperature forecast of low 80sF (shorts again!)  We played our last round at Port Royal Robbers Row course with Barb and Reid who were also heading home to Canada on Saturday due the dreaded 'C virus'.  We stuck to the same format but despite a valiant effort by the boys the girls sneaked it again!  Liz got 37 points which was 1under her handicap and Barb must have played at least 5 shots better than hers so we were really up against it.  In the evening we met up for a meal in a local Mexican restaurant which rounded the day off nicely. We did not see any today! The post match pic - note the girls taking it seriously in their team tops!

Wednesday & Thursday Expert fishing competitor Liz with Barb & Reid at Bear Creek Golf Club We had a day off from golf on Wednesday.  The weather was excellent - Ben went fishing (no one was catching) and Liz went for a long walk on the beach and was very impressed by some of the 'mansions' overlooking the Ocean.  Later we both went to Mathews Beach near the airport where Ben had another go at fishing - this time from the beach; again no luck - even the expert competitor went home hungry! Liz 'vegging' Today we played golf at Bear Creek with Barb and Reid - again a lovely day with blue skies, gentle breeze and temperature in the mid 70Fs.  The boys had a better day today and sneaked a win - Liz says that they thought she and Barb ought to let us have a win otherwise we would be grumpy - ha ha not! We ate in this evening followed by a 'veg' watching rubbish TV.
