Half-Term Lads Footy Trip

Me and Joe went up to Crewe to see Pompey play. We met Julian in the pub in Crewe, and then just 30 mins before kickoff the game was called off!  Good fun though...

Next day we went to see Wolves play.   It was raining before the game so we took shelter in the Wolverhampton Art Gallery.  I loved this statue made from coat hangers... 

Joe liked the cats :-)

Wolves v Leicester.  It was a bit soggy...

Cracking game.  Wolve won 2v1.

We stayed in Shrewsbury.  Next day we went to the Royal Air Force Museum...  This is a Bristol 188 Research Aircraft....

Spitfire....

Vulcan Bomber...

Lichfield Cathedral....

Joe had a couple of snowboard lessons at the Tamworth Snowdome....

On the Tuesday more footy....Shrewsbury v Pompey.  Pompey went one down and came back to win 2v1.  Brilliant.

Ronan Curtis gave his shirt to kid next to Joe!

Great half-term lads trip :-)
