More Snow Pics/Vids

Posted on February 6, 2009

The weather has stayed pretty snowy all this week, and there would have been a whole lot more if it hadn't been interrupted by a bit of rain and sleet at times.

Anyway it didn't stop more sledging and fun and games with George, Harry and their mates, it has been great fun. A cold weekend is to follow with a hint of something milder next ...

Now even though I can walk in straight ...

Big Win For The Hoops

Posted on January 28, 2009

Went to football with George last night to watch Reading move a step closer to an immediate return to the Premiership with a win against league leaders Wolves closed the gap to just two points rather than eight points if Wolves had won. This was an enthralling encounter with no tackled shirked and 100% endeavour from both sides making up for any quality which was lacking.Ultimately in a game of such fine margins there had to be a mistake, or a ...
