Anyone for Golf?

Today we went to St Andrews. The Andrew is the disciple of Jesus, whose remains were supposed to have been brought there by a Greek a really long time ago. Andrew was crucified on a diagonal cross because he didnt think he was good enough to be crucified like Jesus was. Hence the St Andrew's cross. We got dropped off at the old golf course. If you just turn up, you can go in a raffle and if you win you get to play for £200. We just watched a few other people hit off and someone having a really bad hole on the 18th. We went for a bit of a walk on St Andrew's beach, where the Chariots of Fire Beach scene was shot. A you can see, it is a typical summer's day at the beach. The water was a bit colder than our water, probably about what it is at the moment. Being a beach girl, I couldn't resist having a paddle, but Adrian thinks he had more sense. I have now paddled in the North Sea. He can't say that. We also looked at ST Andrew's Castle, Cathedral and University, where Prince William went.
Scotland has a very bloody history. There seems little distinction between Church and Royalty. People were murdered in these places and buried in them. Personally I think the Cathedral's are beautiful to look at but it has very little to do with my idea of Christianity. They wont let you talk or take photos but they have shops inside them selling souveniers. I think that you can pray to God anywhere.
For lunch, at about 2.30, we had fish and chips at a little fishing village, Anstruther, probably the equivalent to Nelson bay. It was really low tide and all the boats were high and dry, literally. I have never seen boats totally out of the water like that before, with their keels in the sand. They must have very big tides here. We called in at yet another award winning beach that was all sand and rocks, with no visable water. It was another lovely fishing village, Elie, which would have been quite pretty if there had been any water under the boats. How strange!
