A week in the life of a St Mirren supporter Part 1. Saints (1) 2 Hearts (1) 2 att 7,105. Denied a 3rd goal by a laughably bad VAR decision when it was 2-1 but a pulsating game throughout.

A Desi Pub in the Malvern Hills. The Marlbank with an excellent North Indian menu. Owners started with a curry night once a week, now so popular it’s a permanent menu with two well kept cask ales. One for volume 2 @davidjesudason.bsky.social
