Funny how things work out on a quiet Sunday, in mysterious Tatworth.
I had just spent a couple of hours in Stowell Meadow, tidying up my secret pond and was walking back up Tatworth Street in my Waders and carrying a slash-hook and a large knife etc .
A Lady crossed the street in blue slippers and emptied an ashtray into the Farmers Field opposite. I said to her, "That was a risky road crossing to undertake", as she replied "My Boyfriend doesn't know I smoke !"
Being the shy, introverted type, as you know, I grilled her further and she asked " Where have you been dressed like that ?
I explained about Stowell Meadow and she then said she knew it very well as she used to play there as a child, having lived all her life in the village. Now I didn't have to use a lie-detector or thumb-screws to get her talking, but I found her name was Mrs Grinter, nee Mary Stanhope. "You probably know my Brother in Law, and My Sister - Richard & Jenny Hall "....and the rest is History on the very day I was posting their new Address.

The pond is doing very well, although a bit overgrown compared to this pic. I sat there for a couple of hours watching the wildlife. Acres of Meadow-Sweet and Cow Parsley - which was adorned with a million butterflies & other insects. I saw one beautiful black one with flashes of vivid purple, not seen before.

What a front 9 as Mark , Tony & JKP must have been leading by a mile with 48 Points, only for it to crumble on the back 9 but they just hung on.
