Viewing single post of blog The Fairways

There is something a little liberating about letting your dog run off all over the putting greens on a golf course! Even though the the golf club has been just been sold.

The land has been sold to a fruit growing company, but the development plans are for a hotel, leisure complex and property developments……no fruit.

Jumped accross the ‘Brook of Plenty’ which runs through here

I found several lost balls

saw a green woodpecker

walked round a marshy bit

and cant wait to watch as nature takes back the land. I tried to use my imagination to see what would happen.

Will I do any gorilla gardening a friend suggested….not me, though others might. I might plant something somewhere?

Moles, I can already see mole hills on the fairways. But it still looks exactly like a golf course apart from one thing……..the flags are gone. I like flags and thought I might design some replacements…..to mark what though?

I haven’t even been over that side yet.

It feels just like being a child finding a piece of waste ground to stake as your own. Cos I’m walking on here its mine!
