Gribbles?

Well done to my old crew down the road, another appearance in the fourth round of the F.A Cup is a great achievement and hopefully this time the fans will be rewarded for their support by a decent tie. Having been there before a few times it is about time a Premiership club had a visit to Plainmoor...........

As far as the other cup games were concerned you don't have to look much further than Stevenage's game against Newcastle to see how Premiership clubs feel about travelling to lower league opposition.

On the home front things are progressing nicely, I am very close to getting a business off the ground so fingers crossed there, but last night, with the working week a distant memory, the Millers came over for a 'Cook off' special. My wife produced a masterclass of culinary delights, the food was magnificent, and the company was just about bearable - the fact that everyone stayed fully clothed and conscious also showed how much progress has been made, or lost!!
Lastly, and in true Devonian style, I took the children for a lovely sunset walk down by the beach this evening. Well I say walk, it was more like a romp what with Harriet flying off on her bike, Issy whizzing along on her scooter, and Cameron cruising by on his long board.
After the 'text book' ice cream it was back to the ranch where I was duly sent out again to get the tea, fish and chips. They went down a treat but whatever 'Gribbles' are I just do not know. From a true Grimberian I can assure anyone that the bits of batter given away at a fish shop are definitely called 'Scraps'!
