Tiger Woods and Ellie Lock

Crom

Tiger Woods!!

Early start Saturday morning to get out to the British open golf. After a breakfast of bacon and eggs, we jumped on the train for the 15 min right out to the course. Absolutely stunning day on the course. After sorting out where we were we ended up on the first green watching Ryan Fox play. After following him around to the seventh green, we parked up in the grandstand and watched all the remaining groups play through, including Tiger. The amount of press and people following him was insane! After a few beers we walked around the back nine and watched the last few groups play. After standing in a train line for an hour we managed to get on a bus back to Dundee and crashed. Bring on Sunday.

Sunday was pretty much the same as Saturday. Early breakfast of bacon and eggs and on the train. Followed Fox around again to the 11th where

we had to stop for Garth's deli belly. After a few beers for me and Dickie, we went back to the 9th for a few groups then headed back to the start for Tiger. After following the masses around we headed to the 11th tee and watched Tiger take the lead! Short lived but epic. After watching the last few groups come though from behind the 18th tee it was back into the train line and back to Dundee. Bloody epic weekend.

A weekend of merryment in Eastbourne as the MTA team goes on tour to the deep south for Ellie's birthday.

Tasha had sorted us a stellar deal at a hotel on the seafront so we had a great buffet breakfast to set us up for the day ahead. A quick tour of Eastbourne's seafront, the pier and the main shopping centre to collect a few bits for the party, Charley from the train station and a much needed coffee from Nelsons before full party mode ensued. Ellie's parents, Steph and Chris put on a brilliant BBQ (and I note that it was gas and tasted delicious!) complete with a chocolate fountain to celebrate Ellie's birthday with friends and family. Much

great chat and dancing until the early hours in Eastbourne's finest establishments followed.

Sunday was a slower start down to the buffet breakfast. Hash browns were in hot demand that morning! We all dipped our feet in the sea and then had to bail to chase the seagull who we thought was attacking Tasha's shoes but in fact was after our flapjacks! A wee bit of tiki touring around the cliffs to Burling Gap and Beachy Head Pub for a fabulous lunch and laze in the sun before heading back to London and saying more see ya laters to the girls, Jared and Kyle :-(

I was very well hosted by Jacque and Dan for the evening and then all too soon it was Monday morning and time to hop on the train to catch up on the weeks worth of Love Island and get to Edinburgh to find Crom again.
