Visitors Arriving

We held a barbecue this afternoon for several neighbours plus our family. They're great sports and all arrived wearing red and white (without being asked to) and brought quite a few England flags with them too. Our grandsons were delighted as they are very patriotic and the elder one loves football too. They were meeting and greeting at the gate with "Welcome to the Semi-Final" (and we hadn't asked them to do that either!).
This couple had attached their (very large) flag to a pole and arrived quite grandly along the lane, singing as they went - and they're not even football fans!! We could see the flag over the hedge as they progressed past the side of our house.
Enough said about the result. Very sad. Kai managed not to cry, but like many people, he was so disappointed.
