I’ve spent the past few days playing golf in Cornwall, at Trevose, near Padstow.  Having been there a couple of times before, I knew what to expect, but Trevose is one of those rare places that is consistently even more beautiful than one’s memory of it.  The golf course overlooks Constantine Bay, and the cocktail of sea air, golf, and an unexpected amount of sunshine, mixed in with spectacular views and good company, is just the ticket.   The course, which is hosting the English amateur championship next month, was immaculate, and the club house provided good food (and the occasional glass of beer…), served by really nice people. The whole experience just made me feel very lucky.

And talking of luck, City continue to extend their overdraft at the Luck Bank.  Watford and Stoke began the week with games in hand over us, which, if won, would have pushed us down to 4th place.  Watford, who only had to beat lowly Barnsley to overtake us, were convincingly beaten 3-0, and Stoke were beaten at home.  So automatic promotion is still in our grasp, and the final push must begin this afternoon with a win against Wolves, who are themselves well in the frame.  Yes folks, it’s another must-win 6-pointer.  Not sure I can cope…
