Err what?

Well that wasn't called for! Both yesterday early evening and today lunchtime we have had short sharp snow storms that were heavy enough to actually settle for an hour or so. It could have been worse - the Gorse Fox could have been out playing football when it dumped. Actually he had just finished and was driving home.
Oh well April tends to be a little unsettled and the chance of snow, hail, and thunder had been forecast.

Back on the pitch the Gorse Fox enjoyed a much better game than yesterday - he still managed to lose 5-3, but he felt that he played a lot better. The game was very crowded with 10-a-side, but tried to compensate by playing the full width of the cage which aded a couple of metres to each side of the playing area.

These Wednesday games are becoming very popular as we pick up some of the disillusioned players from Worthing who want to enjoy the game and the banter without all of the yelling and shouting.

"Parkinggate" has been the flavour of the month on the development. A vote was held regarding whether there should be some enforcement of the parking rules. Those in favour of enforcement won the vote and as of Monday the new regime was due to start. It has, to say the least, caused uproar. Many of the occupant who rent their houses didn't get a vote, and the enforcement is clearly going to be draconian. There have been letters to the developer, letters to managing agents, letters to the press, and indeed the press arrived to take photos. The implementation of the enforcement has been put on hold and there's talk of a re-vote to ensure renters (quite rightly) get their say. The Gorse Fox can't help but find parallels with Brexit...
