Hockey, Darts, Coombe Hill and The Grand Union Canal
Hockey Coaching A disappointing turnout on Monday evening with about 10 people coming along – I’m hoping the numbers aren’t a reflection of what we are doing and more about half term / general apathy. We built on the previous week by introducing more dynamic basics routines, receiving the ball on the move and passing…

Le Manoir Meal, Hockey and Wine Tasting
The first half of the week was quiet down in Eastbourne again but made up for it at the end of the week and I took one of my more amusing photos for a while. Hockey Coaching and Watching Before popping to Eastbourne, I resumed by hockey coaching career with Paul on Monday evening, trying…

Client Visits, London and Hockey Coaching
Hockey Coaching So I started the week with another session of hockey coaching with Paul. Again, I really enjoyed it and came away with a beaming smile. The session was tighter than the previous week and we tested the attendees with some extended basics and finishing with a game. I’m now almost certain that it…

Thai Food and Golf Get Togethers
Yet another flat out week personally and work wise. After the huge meals on Sunday, a couple of days of famine were in order, so some reheated soup from the freezer – these soups in fact which we froze in their plastic containers. I also tried to step up the activity and did a few…

More Parties, Work Week and Running
I was wondering when I thought about re-starting this blog whether I would have enough material to do a ‘weekly’ blog post summarising what i’d been up to. The first two weeks have been busy! This week started with a trip down to Eastbourne so I could ferry the parents to and from a couple…

England Hockey Masters Final (T3) 2018

Spring is Springing – 3 points
Came home from Trading Depot on Thursday evening, and spring was definitely in the air – the rest of the Watts family were having a bar-b-q!!!! As you can see a disposable bar-b-q was burning brightly with chicken kebabs next to the garden rockery and the beautiful Cherry Blossom on the tree at the bottom…

Very enjoyable weekend
What a rather splendid weekend. Managed to polish off a load of work on Friday night, then had a lovely time with R & J on Saturday morning – we built some robots – which we’d been reading Harry and the Dinosaurs build – so that was rather pleasing. The 1’s were short so I…

Two Parties, The Beach all in all excellent
I had an excellent weekend last weekend. I played snooker with martin and charlie on the friday night – and I won which was even better. Then straight down to Eastbourne on Saturday morning for Harry’s birthday party at 11 – not so great I think i was caught with a mobile camera on the…

Champagne Breakfast, Hockey and leaves
A wonderful weekend was had by all – except Sarah and I are feeling a bit grotty with a heavy cold. Friday night we were pleased to just get there I think – I felt not exactly on the money on the Friday afernoon with my head. Saturday we played hockey – I turned up…
