Wembley is next

After a tense early afternoon on Saturday, with much excitement and shouting the Bees managed to win the semi-final play-off match and tie, after a disastrous start, with the winner with 10 minutes to go.

As summed up:

What it took was victory in one of the most chaotic, glorious games of the season as they overturned a two-goal deficit to defeat Bournemouth in a contest that included calamitous defending, a penalty, a red card, countless fouls and a ballistic atmosphere. It was ultimately decided by substitute Marcus Forss’s winner in the 81st minute.

My voice was harsh at the end with the shouting and frustration.

 

Unfortunately there is not ticket for me as things stand for the final against Swansea. There were 4,300 at new GP but the club has access to less than 4,000 for the final even though 10,000 are allowed to watch. Not enough fan points on my behalf. Oh well, Isaac’s rugby followed by watching in a pub in east London? Interesting.

Family walk

On Friday we were all together as Joe is soon off, to celebrate birthdays and as it was the first time for many months EQ was allowed out of Scotland.

A walk through parts of west London, including a view of the Almond Ave.

That was followed by Gunnersbury park and saying hello to grandmother and grandfather, plus a clean up of the grave.

Next stop were the gardens of Chiswick House before the lunch stop at Kew.

Nice.
