Chelsea

Yesterday Nicholas' nursery took the kids on an excursion to Stamford Bridge, the Chelsea Football Stadium, much to Dad's horror. Frank Lampard's kid goes to Peques so they have a contact on the inside. At first I thought it would be meaningless to Nicholas but I didn't want him to miss out so I signed him up. It all had a big impression on him in the end. He's been chanting parts of Chelsea songs all day, asked lots of questions about football and couldn't stop talking about the HUGE stadium with all the blue and white chairs. I wonder what team he'll support one day!

Loving every minute of the football and we aren't even in SA!

Can only imagine that the atmosphere is electric there!

Proudly South African!

Football Fever

We're so disappointed that we're not going to be in South Africa for the World Cup (especially since a few years ago, when we decided to stay here a bit longer, we thought we would move home in time for the World Cup ... now who knows when that'll be). Our intention is to totally immerse ourselves in the football over the next couple of months even if it is only from a distance.

For starters Nicholas has been going to Fulham Football Club's little kickers program since the beginning of this term. He was a bit apprehensive at first but he soon settled and now enjoys himself thoroughly. Maybe he even shows a bit of promise ...

Daniel also enjoys the outing every saturday as he gets to play with balls on the sideline ...
