DUE TO POPULAR DEMAND ..

It seems that while you love seeing my photos of Paris, you feel they are lacking somewhat in narrative and don't really give you a sense of what I've been up to. Go on, admit it: you missed me, didn't you?

Anyway, here I am back again to tell you all about the exciting rugby this week-end! It was the H-Cup game between Sale (English champions) and Stade (top of the French league and quite obviously the best team). The match was (almost) all you could wish for: drama, tension, Sale taking an early lead with a penalty but Stade responding with an immediate try, a score of 17-6 in Stade’s favour at half-time, Sale clambering back to a nailbiting 20-16 with an intercepted (and converted) try but finally another try and a steady boot and Stade won 27-16! And Mirco was at his tackling, attacking and defending best! Next week: the return match! Are you having second thoughts about the return of the tales yet? ;p
