Balloons, Marlow, John Lewis and a City Title - History Repeats Itself

The exact same Sunday two years ago. Balloons went up in anticipation of Manchester City winning the Premiership for the first time in 44 years, off in the morning to run the Marlow 5 Mile race with over 1000 other runners, a welcome break for tea and cake at John Lewis in High Wycombe on the way home, then steel ourselves for the last game of the season.

The only difference this year was that the weather was cloudy, chilly and windy for the race compared with the calm sunshine of 2012, and that City only needed the draw instead of the win to secure the title. No last minute heroics this time. The manager was calm and so were we. Alison was glued to the TV instead of disappearing upstairs, and watched the whole of the celebrations after the game finished.

Despite the weather, we preferred this year to the nerve shattering come back in added time of two years ago. Roll on 2016.
