Happy Hatter!!!!!!!!!!

I mentioned our wonderful day at Leighton Moss on Friday in my last blog. Well life on our adventures up North continued as we moved onto Carlisle. We had a delightful morning visiting a wonderful sprawling Second Hand Bookshop I had been to last year on the Coast to Coast cycle ride. I managed to add some more books to my growing Story Telling Library. I love finding old books and they usually have some great stories although presentation is often dated.

We met up with Mick and Cath and a couple of drinks in local hostelries we moved onto the football ground to hopefully watch the Mighty Hatters clinch promotion. What an afternoon we had! The game ebbed and flowed, while many fans were keeping in touch with Exeter’s progress-if they didn’t win we were up. Five minutes from time the Exeter result came through-it was a draw! An almighty primeval roar from the away support let the players know we were up. The celebrations went on for some time! Marvellous !!!!! It has been a  roller coaster of a ride in recent years so it is great to have our moment in the sun! Two more promotion parties to come before the season ends! Also a lovely article in today’s Guardian about our best ever moment 30 years ago to continue our smiles!

I was working for the National Literacy Trust in Hereford today, more about this in my next blog.
