My own bed!

I arrived home a little late as the snow in London had delayed my flight, but all of my bags arrived and I drove up to Newcastle without any traffic delays. It was great to finally get home and spend some time in my own house. I have spent the week catching up with friends and family and working my way through the mountain of paperwork that has built up over the last couple of months.

My accountant John came up for a couple of days, we managed to work through my paperwork and fit in a game of golf at Matfen. I was surprised how well the course played, I was expecting it to be soaking wet after last weeks snow. The weather has been very British, some days I have seen all four seasons within an hour!

I have enjoyed eating some of my favourite foods that aren't so readily available in America, nothing too fancy it's more of the simple things, bacon sandwiches and fish and chips. I have enjoyed spending time at my friends house with their dogs, I'm not able to have a dog with travelling so much so I enjoy being able to play with theirs and I can give them back when I leave.

I was still 7th reserve to get into Hilton Head on Saturday afternoon so I decided not to travel as the chance of getting into the tournament is low and I believe an extra week at home will be more beneficial to my play in the upcoming weeks and months. I spent the weekend watching the Masters, I love BBC coverage and the fact there are no adverts every five minutes.
