seu D'Urgell

Arrived in Seu at the course 8.30am this morning after a very early (5.30am) start. Great weather 36 degrees. Challenging course, have Aussies and Italians (Molmenti) in our session.
Found our house, 15km from town, and it is classic Spanish country, with old farm house furniture, we have beds for all 11, including seniors Luuka, Louise, Mike and Aaron. Drove up a tiny country road and then a dirt track to find a toothless old women in a pinny, gesticulating in Spanish. Think she is the neighbour, the key was in the door and so we let ourselves in.
It has tiles above the front door 'casa pallares' , a long wooden farmhouse table that seats 10, 3 bathrooms, old day beds outside, wrought iron balustrades, olives, grape vines, outdoor tables, old fire in the kitchen complete with chimney, plus a modern, electric oven ( thank goodness). Almost everyone found a spot for a siesta then we had early dinner outside and at course now with internet, for 8.45pm training session, hence internet, church bells ringing in background and still warm. photos later.

All sounds amazing!! Is Ben and Braydens result the best the Kiwis have had? Caro home from Auss without Swine flue (I hope) really bad in Melbourne do you hear much about it there.She is thinking of going back to live haven't seen her yet. Hows Jane loving France & Spain, I can just visualize the old Spanish farm house plus the old toothless lady, bet she was dressed in black.
Love Gma & Poppa
