Joy of Sport 3

BySouthportRed

Last weekend was the second sporting weekend in a row! England played 2 World Cup Qualifiers against the might of Albania (won 2-0) and the footballing giants of Latvia (won 3-0). But wasn’t there a time when football was an entertainment or am I just looking back with rose tinted specs? With the exception of Reece James’ free kick v Latvia these were 2 instantly forgetable matches, unless you happened to be related to one of the players.

Speaking of being related to competitors, my grandson Nick went for his Second Dan at Karate on Sunday and was brilliant. (See video obvs!)

Had a lovely day yesterday with family and off to see everyone later on this afternoon. I’ve seen the flood warnings circulating (AGAIN!!!) and I’m just being extremely…

    All the leaves have gone from the horse chestnut tree at Lytham Hall. It will be interesting to see what happens next year. Was it the weather or some disease which caused the leaves to fall of in clumps? Cold today, but Lytham Hall still looks lovely, although I wouldn’t like to pay for the…
