My Sunday team have reached our first ever cup final with a two nil win in our division cup semi-final in the mud this morning. :D

And also, our midfielder who's mum died last week scored a screamer to win. We were all made up for him.

That's awesome mate, let us know how you get on in the final...although I have a feeling we won't be able to shut you up :LOL:
We haven't played any cup games so far this season which is a bit odd.

I enjoyed that experience as well. I even managed to score on every hole yesterday which is something I can't remember doing for so long

Sadly I didn’t score on every hole, but just the 1 blob and 40 points shows the game is going in the right direction. The blob was down to a sliced tee shot going OOB and then a shank with a 3/4 wedge approach shot.....at least they both happened on the same hole though.

Seventeen decent holes then and 40 points in winter never to be sniffed at. I'm with you and feel my game is moving forward. Hopefully we'll get some extended golf and not locked down again or get snowed/waterlogged off

They are gorgeous and seriously float my boat. I'd have a rucksack heavily laden for sure! I did do that once on a mountain in Scotland (beautiful white quartz) which I later found out was (I think) illegal - oopsie!
I’ve lived here 15yrs and never knew until 2 weeks ago that it is (apparently) one of the best spots in the World for collecting it and there’s no restriction.
We had a bottle factory here from mid 1800’s to 1920’s at it’s height producing 20,000 bottles per day, all the waste was tipped in to the sea.

Predominatly get white or green glass, but literally all colours can be found, plus the Milk Glass which was used for ceramics etc.

I’m getting it for a friend in Scotland who is an Artist and wants to use it.?‍♂️

Just an update on yesterday’s Sea Glass, upon reading up I discovered Uranium was used in the manafacture of some types of glass to add colour.

Ordered a UV light, which arrived today, to check what I’d collected.:eek:
