Perhaps
the sentiments I expressed yesterday regarding exclusive golf clubs were not
too far off the mark. At breakfast this morning I spoke with a lady whose
husband had just gone off to play golf, while she is heading off to London to
visit with their daughter. She said that she played golf yesterday, because the
golf club allows women to play on Mondays; but women aren’t allowed to play the
rest of the week, so her husband will be playing with a friend. Allowing women
to play golf on Mondays? Before you know it, they’ll start allowing commoners
to play. Like the sign says, beware of golfers from the left.
Sandwich
is a lovely town. I can’t recall taking such delight in walking around an
English town as I did today. I believe I walked every street and alleyway at
least once in each direction, and some I walked multiple times because they
happened to be key connectors. Shopkeepers must have wondered why I kept
walking by their shops as if I were lost – and they couldn’t fail to notice me
wearing my trademark wide-brimmed hat. Perhaps they are used to lost tourists,
but if they think I was lost today, they should see me play golf.

That is funny, I saw Sandwich on top and I was thinking you were eating sandwiches all day! Never mind, too many miles on my white elephant!
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you enjoyed your walk through the picturesque little town. Forgot how tiny the streets are in the little towns.
Tried to watch Mike Maier cross the channel but it was over. Watched a group of Aussies instead.
So surprised to see that you did not introduce Sir Lost-a-Lot to the store keepers?! What's with that....getting shy?!
Have fun!
