Pompey v Yeovil

Me and Jimmer took the kids to the Pompey v Yeovil game today.  Joe insisted we get in our seats nice and early.  Joe, Angus, Callum, Rory and Jimmer.

It was a good game, but despite a valiant fightback Pompey lost 2v1.

Another great Yule Yomp. We are already looking forward to Number 6 next year...

Forest Green v Newport

We went to Forest Green Rovers today to see the Boxing Day encounter with Newport County. Reggie was one of the mascots.  Here he is (in the black hat) walking out with the players and the other mascots.

Both teams are riding high in the Conference so this is an important game. Here's Reggie lined up next to the officials before the start of the big game.

The expectant crowd : Joe, Reggie, Will, Freddy, Peter, Mary and Dad.  It was a good game, but Forest Green lost 1v2...

Joe met Santa and picked up a few sweeties...

Christmas in Amberley

We went up to Will and Rachel's house in Amberley for Christmas, together with the whole Fellows Family! On Christmas Eve Will served the most fantastic Sushi feast...

Christmas Day morning. Freddy, Joe and Reggie playing FIFA on the Wii...

Will and Rachel put on a sensational Christmas Dinner on their new 9 foot long solid oak table...
