Stephen Sinclair - Sutton Utd FC v Bognor Regis FA cup

In today's edition of travel with the Sinclairs I went back to Sutton in Surrey, just the other side of Carshalton, Surrey where I was born about 50 years ago.
The weather was really nice, sunny all day and warm.
The match, well it was played to a good standard, Certainly Sutton United FC would fit well into league two.
The star of the show was their number nine Leroy Griffiths, He scored a goal and provided at least an assist.
Sutton Utd also have an ex-Coventry player Paul Telfer
I Had some lovely fish and chips, whilst Sutton Utd won 4-0.

On the way home I went through Kingston and Hampton Court, Kingston has changed, a one way system that takes forever.
The traffic was horrendous, I am just glad I don't live there any more.
I could not put up with that traffic.

Visit to Peter and Rachel Sinclair in Leicester, Oct 2011

Our lastest entry on Travel with the Sinclairs saw us today head south to Leicester to see how Peter and Rachel are settling in at Leicester.
We first went for a walk around Leicester, past their University and then went back to the flat for dinner and pudding.

The Island of Barra - 2010

July 2010 saw the family head off for Barra an Island on the West coast of Scotland.
The journey by ferry was long.
The Island was lovely, but getting off was not easy as the ferry broke down.
Our car also had a minor break down as we got on the ferry, but we were very fortunate that it only cost £20 to fix. However it did force us to sit in the lovely Scottish country side for several hours, waiting for the RAC!
So the holiday begins with visiting Anna's friend in Balnaclellan.
We then head off to visit Nardini's in Larg. It makes really lovely ice cream!
