The start of the Euros

Some considerable thought had gone into our evening. Plan was to have the family for a meal at our hotel early enough to watch the Scotland vs Germany match later. Then it turned out that our hotel wasn’t showing the football so we researched options nearby.

Chose a nearby pub (after checking they were showing the match) and rescheduled everyone. However when we turned up we found out they weren’t serving food…. Which is apparently to be expected on football nights.

We ended up with a fish and chip takeaway from over the road eaten in a very loud pub, where we could hardly hear each other speak, and Scotland lost 5:1. Not the happy 89th birthday evening for Ian we anticipated, but a memorable one!
