Could be a song about football but actually it is a Show of Hands song about the First World War. I said in my previous blog I couldn’t comment on the set until the concert began (it is happening as I write)! There were a couple of songs and a Sassoon poem read by Jim Carter that featured the War, very moving. They have such a wonderful collection of songs you are never quite sure what songs you will hear. I suppose there was a theme running around exile and the final encore with backing of a choir of Santiago made the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end.

Had a lovely couple of days with my brother Mike who stayed with us. We did go to the football on Friday and we visited some of old haunts in Hitchin the town we grew up in. Sadly the not so mighty Hatters spluttered to a draw against the bottom club!

I am now in training for our Pyrenees trip at the end of next month. I am cycling with my boys so I have to work on my climbing. Went for a good ride today.

Just finished re-writing the pages of the web site. Hopefully it will be revamped soon!
