The first and most important date for me is my husband’s birthday on 3rd February, the day the Germans acknowledged that they had been defeated at Stalingrad.


The Six Nations Championship starts on 2nd February and continues until 16th March. The participating nations in this annual series of rugby union matches are England, France, Ireland, Italy, Scotland and Wales. The venues will include Twickenham, Murrayfield, Cardiff, Villeneuve, Dublin and Rome. Ireland were the 2023 champions.

  4. Is this the game where the form a scrum by hugging each other in a circle, the circle having unbelievable muscle mass? I was forced to play it at school once or twice. As with any ball game, I did my best to stay away from balls flying through the air.

    1. That's the one. Teams consist of huge men and smaller men and you can see the steam rising from them on a cold day.

    1. I like rugby, which is fortunate as my husband records a lot of it - particularly league. Still, there's always the option to do something else. x x x

  9. My mother had her birthday on the 2nd February ! I don't know anything about rugby except that it looks quite rough. In Belgium and France they celebrate the St. Chandeleur (candlemas) and we will make crepes as it is the tradition. That will be fun ! I only watch, mine would stick at the ceiling when I turn the crepe in the pan !

  12. Happy birthday Barry, and I will try to watch 6 nations but my choice of which one to support doesn't go down well in my English household.

  13. Barry says, 'Thank you.' Although we're English, we enjoy all the others and love the Haka - different every time. It really makes the heart race.
