RWC Final - southfields

We can not explain to anyone how grateful we were that the boys in green and gold managed to pull through on this one! Endless amounts of abuse from English colleagues and children were, without a doubt, in our future if the Poms had won...but, they didn't!
We chose to watch the game at a friends house in Southfields with a whole bunch of Saffa's. Our first choice was Zulu's Bar in Fullham, but when people started queuing outside at two o'clock in the afternoon, game being at eight, we gave it a skip.
Fun was had by all and the cry of "bokke" echoed through the Southfields streets.
On our way home, Putney high street was all Saffa, as hundreds of drunken supporters, most of them dressed in green and gold, roamed the street from pub to pub cheering.
Is was a great day to be in London! On Sunday morning just about every newspaper had an article claiming the "most controversial try" was in fact the turning point in the game....Blah, blah, blah!



new branches on the family tree

This post is actually a bit overdue...sorry! None the less, this is just to confirm the two latest additions to the Stofberg and McFarlane families. First came Isabel Stofberg, then a couple of weeks later, all the way across the world in Germany, Max McFarlane. Welcome to the family little people!
