THE MIGHTY CATS - PREMIERS AT LAST!

Sorry - but just couldn't resist mentioning that I've FINALLY experienced being a supporter of a Premiership Team. Thanks to the "team" for taking me to watch my beloved team win the premiership - and thanks to everyone else back home for sending me all those messages! I believe there are some photo's on a camera of some fanatic crying (proudly wearing her Geelong jumper). Also a big thanks to Mike Hodge and Tony Fieldhouse (again) for making arrangements for us to watch the Grand Final.

Anyway - moving on to GSE matters........I have spent a lovely day today with my hosts Colin & Janine Luke. After a nice sleep-in we headed off in Colin's beautiful "Bentley" (which made me feel like a princess again - twice in a week). We went to Covent Garden and had a look around the markets and enjoyed a lovely meal (and of course a glass of red....). Then we headed off to Windsor Castle but encountered a few "traffic" issues so unfortunately didn't make it in time to have a look inside - but it looks fantastic from the outside! We then went to the local St.Mary's church to listen to a concert of chamber music - just a lovely way to finish off the day. Sorry no photos - having some technical difficulty.....

Hi Team,

Great to follow your exploits via this blog. It sure seems like you've had your (our?) money's worth already.

I'm sure Kira will remember for the rest of her life just where she was when the Cats won the flag in 2007. We all probably won't live long enough to see the next one.

More importantly however,and you probably already know anyway.... the Storm belted Manly last night to take out their second premiership in ten years.

Enjoy the rest of your exchange. Have a ball and keep the reports coming.

Cheers,
Tony McKenna

Hi Kira. I couldn't let such a momentous occasion pass without a comment...I'm almost as rapped as you about the Cats; the media is full of the celebrations, direct radio broadcasts from KP Saturday and Sunday and as if that's not enough, the ABC are doing another broadcast from Sleepy Hollow today. I've lost count of the number of times I've heard the "Roller Door" song. This could be the dawning of a new age for the Catters.
Cheers.
