Flowers and Celebrations

The beautiful flowers were a gift from our friends who joined us for dinner yesterday evening.

M was born and brought up in Carlisle. He went to watch Carlisle United play football when he was a lad and has supported them ever since. They’ve spent the last (nearly) 10 years languishing in League 2 of the EFL. This afternoon they won their playoff match at Wembley against Stockport County to win promotion to League 1, (reflected in our fireplace surround). M is very happy and so is celebrating with a glass of champagne.
