Crossing over (Transition from Winter to Spring) - 5 - # 41/2011


The Six Nations - today England beat France at Twickenham, the home of Rugby. 17 - 9 for England but it was not "a walk in the park" for the winners.  France are superb at rugby, and so are England - and in this game both sides were well matched.  The French are a bit off form at the moment and were most likely to loose.  But England, who are on form, made some sloppy mistakes.  When playing France at rugby a mistake usually costs you the whole game. This was, as always when England meets France, an exciting match. Tonight Richmond town centre will be full of celebrating fans and downcast Froggies.

The photo? I almost forgot it: walking in Richmond Park alongside the snow drops and the catkins.  (From here you can see the huge Twickenham stadium and although it's a couple of miles away you can hear the roar of the crowd.)

The Bar Fly celebrates the Six Nations Trophy - # 08/19

It has to be in colour! The Six Nations rugby tournament is well underway with France, Italy, Ireland, England, Wales and Scotland competing for the trophy. The bar looks colourful decorated with all the national flags.

For those enjoying riverborn decay in Brentford, Hang On! It will return after the week end.
