An absolute stinker of a weekend this weekend I have to say and as I type this on the aircraft back to London, it's with a bit of a heavy heart due to the excellent time I enjoyed.
Saturday was an early start, but a prompt British Airways flights, whose service impresses me more and more between London and Scotland, meant I was in Linlithgow easily by lunchtime. This was spent with the full Hodge clan at the old post office, before a quick run up the road to McDiarmid Park to see Saintees demolish Ross County 4-0 in a score that could have been so much more! back to Linlithgow to drop kids, then Iona and I headed to Falkirk to see Mum and a convalescing Dad.
Sunday saw a needed lie in, but then a quick catch up at Solsgirth house with Iona and team to see the wedding venue, before lunch at a very weird and wee cafe in Clackmannanshire! Then it was back to Linlithgow for the Canal fun day before Sunday evening at Mum and Dad.
Monday saw an early start as Ed and I were due to play Kinross Golf Club with Kenn, the photographer used by SGU frequently. The track was in good nick, was relatively tough and had a bit of Wentworth about it's numerous dog legs! I hit the ball ok but scored poorly! Back to Linlithgow to pick the kids up from nursery, before Katy arrived to see them too. Lovely meal with the Robertson's too.
Finally, Tuesday saw earliest wake up, before heading to Gleneagles for bacon rolls and a four ball with Nick and Dougie Donnelly. Nick and I were paired up and won 4&3 which was always good, although I think playing with Nick had a little more to do with that than anything else! The Queens course was in incredible shape, I'll not play many better than that today in my life!
After that it was time for some lunch, then down to watch the pros practice at the Johnnie Walkerevent before Eds book launch for Jewel in the Glen, an absolute triumph in my opinion, both as a book and the event itself. Happily BA even sorted out an on time / early plane back to the big smoke.
Sadly, the real world returns tomorrow! Not cool!
