Wednesday at 10.30am will find The Farmer and his wife yelling their heads off on the banks of the Thames at Henley. The target of our yelling will be the University of Leicester men's 8 racing against University of Southampton in a heat for the Temple Challenge Cup. I am so excited about this outing that I can hardly wait. If they are strong enough to win they will race Harvard (USA) on Thursday, and a win on Wednesday would be the biggest rowing achievement ever brought home to University of Leicester. Send these motivated and dedicated young men (and young lady coxswain) strength and stamina for their race. We shall yell on your behalf!
There is a live results feed on the Henley Royal Regatta website if you wish to know how they do, as they do it. Even if they are knocked out on Wednesday they will have done as much as one other University of Leicester team, 16 years ago. So, already, they have equalled a record.
I have my big boy home. He is out on a tractor contracting job tomorrow, and has a property to prepare for letting, and some bricks to clean in his spare time. Wouldn't want him to think his short break from study is time for...... a break.
Keep you posted on rowing news. X
