A glorious day saw me drive across to Swansea to meet my old friend Les to watch my beloved Blues play away in the Carabao Cup against Swansea City.

After a busy week it is always good to get to watch entertaining football, so a trip to Midhurst in West Sussex, to watch Midhurst & Easebourne FC play Bexhill United, was a real plus. The weather was cool, dry and there was cloud cover which meant the sun was limited. The Stags, as Midhurst…
