My lovely nephew Ian, suggested that I set up blog page, so I have taken his advice and thought I would let you know from time to time what was happening with me and the Dick, Kerr Ladies.  The most important thing to tell you at the moment is that I have been invited out to America as a guest of the family of Alice Mills.  Alice was the young lass who settled in the USA the year after the teams tour there in 1922 and despite the rumours that football could affect a woman's fertility, Alice gave birth to six healthy girls, Irene, Louise, Winnie, Terri, Frankie and Rose.  I will be staying at the home of Winnie Bourque, who was the third daughter born to Alice and Aime Lambert.  I am looking forward to meeting up with all six girls and their families and I will let you know all about it when I get back.  I will be flying out on 28 June and returning home on 5 July.  The flight from Heathrow leaves at Terminal 5.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed that all the problems are sorted by then!! 

Last week (18th April) I was contacted by a reporter from Denmark.  He was writing an article about the Danish Women's team and wanted to discuss what kind of affect the FA ban had on the women's game here in England.  I don't know where or when the piece will be published, but it's good to know that people world wide are still interested in the Dick, Kerr Ladies.  For that, I am so grateful.

I'm off on holiday for a week from 3 May.  I'm going camping to Scotland!!  We're staying at a wonderful camp site at the foot of Ben Nevis in Fort William.  If you have never been to the highlands of Scotland, I can seriously recommend you take a visit.  The scenery is absolutely stunning ... even in the rain!!  I'll let you know all about it when we get back.  But just before I leave for the Scottish Highlands, I would genuinely like to thank those of you who have taken the time to contact the site.  Your comments are most welcome and I am truly grateful for your enthusiasm.

I'm back from my holiday in Scotland and we had the most fantastic time.  I've never known such amazing weather either ... almost every day was sunny and warm.  It really is a beautiful place and we took some really good pictures.  Next on the agenda will be my trip to America next month.  The airline rang me today to let me know of flight changes and thankfully I won't now be using terminal 5.  At least I might arrive with all my luggage in tact now.  Will keep you all posted.
