In like a lion...

This post covers late Feb. and all of March. I'm actually wanting to retire this blog, given that I rarely write in it. But I haven't figured out how to save it. I don't want it, and its many many photos, to disappear. I look forward to reading it when I'm old and gray (older and grayer 😄)

After two visits from my very kind friend John, I successfully moved money here from an IRA. And I have been very successful at spending it. In late February, I went to an evening golf coaching event in Ballymoney – an hour away – so I spent the night at a charming B&B and then went shopping at two stores nearby that were recommended.

My haul included Barbour boots (retail at 260, on sale for 80) and a pair of slip-on Rieker navy shoes, apparently a popular brand. Then on to an outdoors store where I bought a down jacket (ethically sourced down) and a pair of hiking boots. Onwards for a visit with Mary then home.

Also at the end of February was a swing dance weekend. Rubbish weather continued in Feb and March, necessitating a dog blanket while watching TV.

But there were pockets of good weather and, during March, we went from nine to 13 holes open on the golf course. I'm getting out twice a week as of the second half of March. Here I am with Patricia with poor Pauline working away in the background.

Late Feb and March
