Proper Golf and Sleepy Tours

 Friday 26th May

 










Grandad was up early and, in the garden, practicing something called a ‘golf swing’. Mum didn’t look overly happy; she hadn’t played golf for years and now, she had to play a game with her dad and uncle Chris.

 

Speaking of uncle Chris, he came and picked up mum and grandad at around 8:30. This left dad and I waiting for grandma and uncle to get up. This took a lot longer than I thought and we eventually decided to leave the house around 11am.

 

We hadn’t even got out of the drive before my uncle asked for ‘coffee’ and a bank. We therefore drove to our local shops and went into an express Tesco to get a Costa coffee and cash. Finally, we were all set for a tour of Derby which both my uncle and grandma had asked for.

 

My uncle lasted until the university before he fell asleep. My grandma lasted a little longer. My dad managed to drive into town, past our doctors, along the inner ring road and past the train station before grandma too left asleep. I felt a little left out therefore I too fell asleep leaving dad driving around Derby on his own tour.

 

I, grandma and uncle woke up once in the driveway. We relaxed at home awaiting uncle Chris, grandad and mum to get home. Mum was very happy as her golf wasn’t as bad as she thought. Grandad said that he had enjoyed his British golfing experience. I think it was one of his most favourite activities so far.

 

So tomorrow my Japanese relatives will be meeting the whole Spencer / Otter family for a meal. Tomorrow shouldn’t be busy however, it’ll still be tiring, I think.

 

Toodle Pip!

Friday 27th March 2026 - Dad usually finished work at 5pm… not 1pm. Something was a foot! What’s more, bags were packed and the roof top box...
