We're football crazy, we're football mad...

The European Summer of 2018, just like the Summer of ’76,  will long be remembered as a great one.  It has been very relaxed.  Indeed perfect for eating outdoors, family get-togethers,  watching tennis and attending the Henley Royal Regatta. The Summer of 76 Club made me feel pretty old.  It was one of the driest, sunniest and warmest British summers (June/July/August) in the 20th century,  and those of us who remember it, do so with great affection! England had a welcome distraction from the politics of Brexit, by making good progress in the FIFA World Cup Football 2018. English flags fluttered across the land and Gareth Southgate’s young English team had us believing the impossible that like their win in  1966 ‘Football’s Coming Home’   Personally, it has been really exciting, we've been in Russia to watch the football.  Whaaaaat , I hear you say?
