Year on year

It's been bright but cool today. The Gorse Fox was up first and enjoyed a quiet cup of coffee as he read the day's email and prepared himself for the morning's football. The Coventry Hobbit was next to emerge as he had to get into work to prepare for the Sunday lunch service.

Football was a quick and punishing 5-a-side today. The sides seem to fall into and attack-vs-defence grouping. The Gorse Fox was expecting a rough time and a heavy defeat. Certainly, the orange-bis (attackers) charged into a 4-0 lead before the Gorse Fox scored his first goal for the yellow-bibs. By half time we had clawed our way back to 7-4. The second half was even more frantic and we finally caught up to 10-10 before the Gorse Fox scored the last of his 6 goals for the day and took the win 11-10 to the yellow-bibs. It was an immensely enjoyable game and that brings the Gorse Fox's total for the year to 87 goals which is the same total as the whole of last year - and he still has two months to go.

Back home we had a quiet afternoon. The Silver Vixen did some sewing in the Orangery and the Gorse Fox did some more work on the photo album/collection.
