More rugby

Today was the last rugby tournament of the season and it was down in Worthing, about an hour away.
We made a day of it and piled into "Lil Jimmy" the green car and headed out first thing in the morning.  It was pretty chilly and a bit rainy when we first got there, but fortunately it warmed up a little bit and the sun came out.
 There was a team from Wales that had journeyed here to participate today, and I wish I could have caught on camera the expressions on the boys' faces when Rhodri and Tryfan came over to talk to them in Welsh! The boys were so surprised and happy to meet some Welsh-speaking English residents. It was especially important since the host club had done a less than impressive job of making this team feel welcome.
So the whole thing finished up around 1:30pm and we headed for home but stopped on the way for a swift pint and some crisps at the Spotty Cow pub. Good times.
In the late afternoon we had the weekly Skype call with California and enjoyed each others company for the rest of the day.
It was really great to hang out with Egan and we are stoked that he was able to swoop in for the weekend during his business travels.
