Parade

There is so much going on at the moment anyone would think that we have won a cup final or something!!. Last night we had the pleasure of an open top bus tour through the streets of Torquay, ending with a civic reception at the town hall. It was an incredible feeling to be parading the cup around the town last night, I want to thank everyone so much who came out to cheer us round making it a night to remember for everybody.
Moments like that happen very rarely in football - this may explain why we milked it for all it's worth!.
What a sight it was turning into the last stretch of road leading to the town hall, so many people all enjoying the fact that the town's football club is back in the league, and why not after the dark day's of last season's finish!. We then headed off for a few celebratory 'sherbets', it goes without saying thanks to all those who kept us replenished last night.
I met some great people last night, Lots from the town, some from back home and some with a few bizarre requests !( you know who you are ). A top laugh though, everyone, like us, delighted with winning at Wembley. On the entertainment front let's just say Simon Cowell would have been disappointed with the dance moves on show, no names mentioned... Robertson, Stevens, Poke, and Rice! , lad's George Sampson can rest easy. I didn't 'bust' any moves on the floor in fear of showing the lads ( myself ) up, plus we all know I have two left feet ( apart from at Wembley !!!!!!, sorry couldn't resist that one )

Apologies to anyone who didn't manage to get a picture with the cup last night, at least we have it for a full year so there's still time ( I'm free Mon, Wed and Fri afternoons for photo sessions !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Joking of course.
After an obscene lack of sleep today involved a meeting with a mate about a dog, a mercy mission to find a 'little red dress' ( come on, not for me ), a battle in the loft to find suitcases, a financial review ( well looking at the bank balance, painful ), two bacon and egg Mac Muffins, a trip to Jodes ( there's a theme building here, it's now my wife's 'me' time ), and, later on tonight, a summer ball at the club.
Tomorrow we travel back up North to stay with our parents, this will involve Lot's of food, drink and banter.
See you soon, I'm bringing the medal home!.
