When I worked in New Zealand, my friends there called American football “gridiron” since “football” means soccer to the rest of the world.
I guess I should ask our UK contingent if they call US football “gridiron”...

Learn something new every day... I new they called it soccer everywhere else just never heard the other term... we are college football fans here in my house though although my husband and I support opposing teams
You look so relaxed!! I love when the fur babies surround us!
Which teams do you two support?
I LOVE THIS PICTURE!!!!!!My photo is my avatar, but I'll add another one just for fun.

Just “American Football” ... although I do understand gridiron
Anywhere outside north America football means what you call soccer.
The term soccer is not generally used at all in the rest of the world!

Not a word I've heard before but then I don't really take any notice of anything to do with football or soccer so it may have gone in one ear and straight out of the other!

I emailed John a while back to but no response
Maybe he'll come back when Adam returns.
John has been in touch with me more recently than Adam. I have heard nothing since about February.
Good Saturday morning to everyone.
We are having a lovely cool and soggy day.
There were quite a few showers during the night and this morning and they are set to last most of today with heavier showers tomorrow.
It is a very welcome sight!
Not so keen on the strong winds that will come with it,
but when it comes to rain absence certainly has made the heart grow fonder!

We left Kent at the end of a brief, but heavy, shower. North of London it is dry and sunny, but much cooler - only 19C - and more pleasant
We have picked up the in-laws and are now heading to a family wedding near Stratford upon Avon (Shakespeare’s birthplace)

Have a lovely day and hope the weather doesn't affect your travel or the wedding too much.We left Kent at the end of a brief, but heavy, shower. North of London it is dry and sunny, but much cooler - only 19C - and more pleasant

Stratford upon Avon is a beautiful place.
How’s this for a view? The ceremony is complete, and there is a social media ban until tonight, but I think the view from the hotel terrace is OK
Official photos and reception next
