A day out watching Tranmere

On Saturday, I met up with Will and Matilda in London and went to watch Tranmere at Charlton. It was ace fun, and I took the camera along for once, so there are some snaps to look at.

The Rose of Denmark

Before the game, we went along to the Rose of Denmark pub round the corner from the ground. It is one of the friendliest football pubs I know, and each year they do a framed photo montage of all that season's visiting fans to put up on the pub wall. Last season, they took our photo, so we went back to see if we were up on the wall! We were, and the blokes who do the picture took our photo again for next year's montage. Ace!

There we are!

Will & Matilda discover our photo on the wall of the pub. It is a great place - the only pub I have found that has this idea.

It's a shame they put us quite so low down!!

During the build-up

The ground fills up as the teams come out and warm-up.

Very happy to be 1-0 up at half-time

Time for Matilda to give Mum a half-time report!

Second-half action shot during the 1-1 draw - including a view of Ash Taylor's comedy bandage

Matilda & Will - all smiles. Charlton is always a great day out

The builders are coming

For ages, the rented house next door has had planning permission to build another house on the large corner plot. A couple of weeks ago, work began at long last. Looks like we might be living next to a building site for a while.
