Hi Jimbo,
We have not managed to find anyone to teach us Colonial English yet, but we don't give up easily and we will keep looking.

Had our first Golf Game since getting back to the UK today, but please don't ask how we did, one of us sucked, but it wasn't Her Ladyship, she did quite well.

It was a very hilly course at a place called Tapton, which is the former stately home of George Stephenson, who built the worlds first public railway around 1830 and invented the worlds 'Standard Gauge' railway.

We were shattered when we finished pulling the cart up hill and down dale.

See the pictures below;

Picture 1 shows the view down to the 1st tee and you play back up the hill.
The Church in the background, is known as 'The Crooked Spire' and dates back to Saxon times (~1000yrs).

Picture 2 shows Her Ladyship pitching onto the 7th tee, which again shows how high we are.

Hope to see you soon
