Back to Wales again today for what every real Great Britainite does on a Saturday, watch some top quality football! Since the nearby English Premier League matches at Everton and Manchester United were completely impossible to secure tickets to, we settled for the top flight Wales soccer league Cymru Premier where Flint Town United were hosting a match only 15 minutes away by train. Tickets were only 8£ for grown ups, kids were free, and pints in the trailer that was set up for the supporters club were only 3£ a piece (for reference, the warm can of lager that Pat had to choke down on the train ride there was 4£). The home side came out with a resounding 4-0 result in front of an announced crowd of 355 brave souls, in terms of value the day couldn't possibly be beat.

After the game ended, we went back to Chester and met Hailey for supper at "The Spoons", a British chain of pubs that offer cheap, fast food with a distinct Cien Montaditos vibe to it. It was busy even at 4:30 in the afternoon, but we managed to elbow our way in to a booth that could fit us all and had a great meal. Today is also Jasper's 10th birthday, with Hailey's 24th birthday falling tomorrow, so we had some cake afterwards to celebrate their big days.
Penny decided to wear the menu as a hat
10 years old, what a beauty!

Tomorrow we say "so long suckers" to Chester and make our way towards foggy London town.
