Grassroots football, Sutton united

 Today it was a bit of an adventure, while millions watch the premier league teams of Arsenal and Manchester City and a few even watch Tottenham! There is of course football on your doorstep. Using the grassroots website my friend and I decided to give it a go. The premise is that you pay £25 and 24 hours before a match you are sent an itinerary of where your match is and the local pubs. 

Our match was in Sutton south London so a train from Windsor and a couple of changes and we were there. It's the last home game of the season for Surton United an it's Altringham a tricky side. We picked up our tickets from the booking office, there was a nice Sutton united badge for each of us and a complementary drink voucher too.  

The match it's self was rather good, Sutton scored a goal mid way through the first half and were playing well. I quick half time pint and it was out for the second half. Unfortunately Sutton dropped off the pace and allowed Altringham to win 1-2 but it was a nice day out. 

If you have a local team you should go and support them, tickets are cheap and it's fun to watch. My local team is Slough town and tickets are only £15 for a home match. 

Have fun stay safe 👍

Sales, shopping and storms

Image
  Last night I listed some of the golf balls on eBay, the Titleist Pro V1’s and the TruFeel’s. Now it’s a crowded market on eBay so I placed them on promotion to be listed top. This morning I had sold both listings not for much but it’s a start.  After a quick visit to Tesco it was down to the local parcel shop to send them off.  It was an afternoon of preparing more golf balls to be listed and then a quick walk up Rowley lane and a big haul of 28 balls. When I inspected them at home three of the more valuable ones had small splits so we’re condemned to the bin.  I’ll keep you posted on more sales, have fun stay safe 👍🏼

Afternoon walk

Image
  It was an afternoon walk, I headed up to Rowley path as I feel there might have been a few Christmas golfers. I made it up to the top of the path and back. I found 11 balls today which was good going. The farmer had also been out with the chainsaw making the path safe by cutting some fallen trees. He’d left a can of two stroke petrol/oil mix near the tree so I grabbed it and left it on a fence post near to the farm for them to find in the daylight. It was a nice walk, I’ve finished Phoenix and I’m onto a new book so look out for a bad review.  Have fun stay safe 👍🏼

Cold and wet walk

Image
  It's been raining all day but I wanted to get out for a walk, I couldn't get anyone to share my enthusiasm so it was just me and an audio book. It was around the estate to start with then I headed up Rowley path I wasn't expecting golf balls but you never know.  I was shocked to find 3 balls I didn't venture into the little nooks and kranys as the mud was thick Andi didn't want to slip into a dangerous position. I got thoroughly soaked and it got a bit chilly but it was fun to get out! Have fun stay safe 👍
