Big News this morning : The George Washington statue near Fenway Park in Boston has been given the Highest Honour By the 🏴 Scottish Fans. Someone has got up there God knows how and placed a traffic cone □on his heed. 😅🤣😂😂. This is a proud moment for 🏴 Scotland.
👍🏻
@WG_RumblePants It was the club’s centenary last year. Beautiful ground, my grandad scored the first ton for the club, my dad and uncle also played for the club. I have fond memories of visiting and playing there (away team friendly) but it can be tough bowling up the hill into a stiff breeze!
Pairings made in heaven: Rheingau Riesling & chicken soup. 'Hölle' translates to 'hell' in modern German, but derives from the Middle High German 'Halde' ('steep hill'). Queen Victoria visited in 1845 & praised the wines; part of the vineyard is now called 'Königin Victoriaberg'.
@WG_RumblePants Centenary year for @Marespool. I see from the website that my grandad was the first to score a ton for the club. My uncle and dad also played for the club. I’ve had the joy of playing there a few times, normally trying to bowl up the slope 😂
@NickLovesSpain I agree Sherry deserves its own thread. It is not only made in Jerez, it is a subject worth looking into. The still wines and oils from the area of Montilla, Cadiz etc are interesting in themselves.
