A grand day out (apologies to Wallace and Grommit)

A child's eye account of a visit to Twickenham to watch England v Samoa accompanied our supper tonight.
Every moment from getting on the bus at school to alighting at the ground and finding a loo.   The singing of the National Anthems impressed him greatly - couldn't believe how silent everyone became.  He loved doing the Mexican wave and singing the England song of  'Swing Low Sweet Chariot' - the whole family have set ourselves a quest for tomorrow to try and find out how an old negro spiritual became the war song of the National Team.
Perhaps the fact that England ended the game victorious made this the perfect day for this young man.
Yeh!  as he would say.
