Well Done England!

Another early morning as this morning was Ambassadors' breakfast club at the Grasmere House Hotel.  Afterwards, I met Sara at Dreams bed shop to look at mattresses the cost of which was incredibly more than I could ever have imagined.  In the end, we bought two pillows which we hope will improve our sleep.  We called in at the Boundary Cafe in Alderbury on our way back home and had a coffee with Ann, Gordon, Alan and a few others.  a lovely group of people.  I spent the afternoon working in the study and this evening Tom and I watched the two football matches in the Euro 2012 - Ukraine v. France which was interrupted after only 4 minutes due to a violent electric storm which threatened to strike players and spectators alike.  The final result was a 0-2 win for France.  This left England needing to win to ensure their continuance in the competition.  This was achieved with a 3-2 win over Sweden who are now eliminated from the quarter finals. England were 1-2 down when Theo Walcott came on and scored the equaliser. Welbeck scored the winner. England are now second in the table (behind France of goal difference) so it is now in England's hands to beat Ukraine to secure their place in the quarter finals.
