With the knowledge that Easter is nearly upon us, it is clear that summer is also just around the corner.
One of the really good things that I love about St Andrews is the buzz that can be felt with the change in the weather, seeing the cutters out on the golf courses, and the students all getting tense with the forth-coming exams!!
On the issue of golf, my clubs have been dusted off, and my name is down for the first medal of the year (for me at least) next week. So the annual dream of reducing the handicap starts again.
As for the hotel, we have finished the various bits of refurbishment works that we wanted to do - redecorating two rooms and re-vamping another 3 bedrooms, all of which has made a great impact. All we need to do now is to get the boss-lady (that's Annie Murray-Smith) to start planning the next round of work which will take place towards the end of the year.
One sad bit of news is that Andy Duncan, our gardener for 32 years, has retired. It was with heavy heart that we said farewell, but we are pleased that he is planning to keep himself busy (he has even got a passport for the first time ever!)
His replacement, Phil Harper, has been with us for four weeks, and has settled in well.
Well, that's it for now. Remember to check our late deals page on the website - we do have some great offers going in at the moment.
