Euro 2020 Semi Final 2 – England v Denmark

So who will make the final? I naturally hope it’s England, but having been disappointed at this stage of the competition before, I am not counting any chickens!

The Danes won Euro 1992 without even qualifying! They were called up at the last minute to replace the warring Yugoslavs and shocked Germany in the final.

There is something very English about the Wallace & Gromit franchise that was created in Bristol. Starting as a TV production it has now also graced the big screen.

Over recent years there have been trails of the characters dotted about Bristol & London. Big & little kids alike spend hours tracking them down in the charity events that draw crowds from far & wide.

As well as W&G, other characters Shaun the Sheep and Feathers Magraw have also featured.

Here are some of this big kid’s photographs from the trails!

When visiting Copenhagen in January 2009, Mrs Wilbur and I did a boat trip through the waterways of the Danish capital.

Sights such as the Opera House and Little Mermaid statue were taken is as we tried our hardest to stay warm. Not the greatest ever maritime experience, but fun for an hour or so.

Score prediction – here we go! I am aligning my heart with my head and am going for 2-0 to England. Please!!!
