Football: The Season So Far
Way back in May I was one of the lucky ones who won a ticket in the ballot to get back into The Hawthorns to watch my beloved West Bromwich Albion in their last home match of the season. This was the first match back in the ground after the Covid pandemic brought the previous season to an abrupt halt in March 2020, and my team had seen a promotion to the Premier League, followed by a disappointing season, that ultimately led to relegation.

So Joe was probably primed to love football, both watching and playing, from an early age. I hear many negatives about grassroots football, but I wanted to share why I think being involved with a team can be a good thing, whether you are a boy or a girl, and whatever…

Horse Riding And Its Celebrity Fans
With the lockdown continuing to ease in most parts of the UK, there has been a rise in the number of people who are getting back in the saddle and enjoying horse riding all over again. The Queen was just one of the people who had missed riding during lockdown, and indeed the first published picture of her after lockdown was, inevitably, one of her riding a pony in the grounds of Windsor Castle.
