An English pub well known to both the author of this post and the owner of this website! Situated about 1.5 x miles from Bordon in Hampshire in Hollywater, the author has been coming here for over 42 x years. After a long period of closure between 2021 and 2023 it re-opened in November 2023 and this is an outside view on the first anniversary party in November 2024!

The Raynes Park Vale Goalkeeper makes a crucial save in the Isthmian League fixture against Farnham Town! Farnham went on to win 2-1 to cement their top of the table position. This is quite a low level of football (several levels below the English Premier League) but just under 1000 people watched the game. In context crowds at this level are usually about 100!

There is far more to football than the English Premier League or German Bundesliga etc. This is goalmouth action from the Portsmouth Senior Cup match between Petersfield Town and United Services Portsmouth. The game is played with as much (if not more) passion than any higher level and represents what many believe is the REAL game. The match finished 0-0, but Petersfield won 5-3 on Penalties, this being a “knockout” cup match.

What used to be a nice view of Manila Bay, a few blocks in from Roxas Blvd., is now fast disappearing behind a seemingly never-ending stream of new high-rise buildings. Not that there will be much of the Bay left to admire from the new buildings either - since the construction of a new artificial island has commenced.

Look at this lovely sunset here in Imus Cavite. Love the pink and purple color, perfect combination. 😍
