Stake Football = 2 and half hours of shivering

Today has been a day of numb feet, hands and face. I stood in the freezing cold for 2 and half hours watching the Ashton vs Manchester Stakes game... what was i thinking?? i do not know. And ofcourse there is no church football game without a scrap.

This is what i saw....

and this....

and these were the WAG's (or just girlfriends and mum)

The score was.... Manchester 2 Ashton 0

The start of my blog

Well I have always wanted to start one of these so I've finally decided to do something about it. So here is my starting post...it is thanksgiving this week. Thanksgiving is my newly celebrated holiday, thought i would take notice of my american heritage and jump on the band wagon. Plus it means one big dinner! But its quite appropriate as i challenged my young women in class on sunday to write down something they are thankful for every day this week. So this week I am thankful that I have dual nationality and can join the fellow yanks in celebrating this wonderful holiday!
