Hockey, Junior Hockey and Meals Out

Busy weekend as usual. Friday night John and I had a c4u board meeting - in the Waggon, it was very productive too ... probably. Bumped into quite a few robertswood dads who were on their way to the George. It was quite a relief to get in the pub as had to work rather hard all week in C4U then CWD in the evenings - half of the workforce were on holiday. Decided we are going to double our personnel count so interviewing this week.

Saturday morning struggled out of bed as was so tired after previous week actually having to work hard (!) but we popped over to Amersham to do some shopping for Sarah's birthday. Didn't actually see much for Sarah but bought some bits and bobs for R & J - lego books, dinosaur books and A & C hockey kit (see photo).

On Saturday afternoon I played for the 3's again - and again I was on the losing side. I did score a goal at last though which was good - had another disallowed - no advantage - had to laugh. The game was against Sonning.

Saturday evening Sarah and I celebrated my sister's arrival by going out for a delightful meal at the Crown in Chalfont St Giles - great service, great wine, great food and very enjoyable evening out. A group next to us had a few too many glasses of something and managed to knock the moose's head off the wall - the landlord didn't appear too impressed. We had a glass of wine in the Fox and Hounds before going in there - a real traditional pub - might try there for home cooked food next time we go out together.

Whilst we were ploughing through our second bottle of rather tasty Sicilian wine, we thought it would be a good idea to take Jamie up for hockey with the under 8's in Milton Keynes (Rebecca was rather ill on Thurs so not a good idea for her to join in). So we duly got there for 10 next morning - and of course Jamie was too shy to join in. However we bumped into their older Cousins William and Olivia and they had a great time playing hockey up there.

After that we thought it would be a good idea to visit Wolverton church St James. There are supposed to be some relatives of mine in there - but we wandered round several times and couldn't find a slab with Charles Watts marked on it. Hey ho.

So we made our way back home ready for Sarah's birthday...
