UPDATE – I was as disappointed as all of you players, that you didn’t win, but why were you so very down – you won – into the Final!  What an achievement – Please, never think your ‘second place’ medal wasn’t worth having!  I was so disappointed seeing you take your medals off. I know I am nobody, but I was so proud of you.  You must set an example to others – especially young kids.  It is worth being second, third and fourth in the world.  I am screaming, thank you all for putting England somewhere, where we are all proud.  My two sisters were at 1966 World Cup game (and one sister was involved with that team) FABULOUS! 

Hey, this is just a quickie, because I am getting things ready for our jazz club for tonight (1st Nov) – See below for ‘Granties Dixie Six’ newsletter.  We shall be getting up – quite tired, but will soon be worked up with excitement, I’m sure, for this wonderful final (thank goodness, our neighbours are rugby fans too).  We spent this morning, watching Wales and New Zealand play, with a disappointing result, for us, but well done New Zealand.  As for tomorrow’s game, may the best team win – Keith and I will be thinking positive and screaming ‘Come on ENGLAND’ – yeah!
