This morning we visited Nant - a fabulous single/double malt whisky distillery just down the road from here at The Priory Country Lodge ....



We went through the whisky making process with John Rochfort (above)... and I am pleased to announce that in 4 years, there will be a Sharma Single Malt ... details to follow


... I also met a wonderful pup called Angus!

HUGE barrels of almost whisky!

In the afternoon, I met up with Greg Ramsay - who helps run the Rotho Golf Club.

Rotho was "formed" in 1822, which would make it the world's oldest golf course outside Scotland.
Rather than play with traditional clubs, we played with hickory clubs (wood) made on-site by the master golf club maker Ross Baker (& pup, Jigger).

THE tee-off before ...
during ....
AND after I break the club head!

The course IS a sheep farm ... with the greens fenced off.
We played the course wearing plus 4's -- it looked mad but was actually great fun.

HAPPY MOTHERING SUNDAY!
