Hello and welcome to the home of Word of the Week. A nice and simple weekly linky, with everyone welcome to pop by and share. The idea of the linky is to reflect back on your past week and share it with us. It’s great if you can sum it up in a word or phrase, hence giving us your Word of the Week. My word this week is ‘England’ and you can read more about that below.
I’m not totally strict on using just a word or phrase. But please try to stick to the theme of summing up your week. There are not too many rules with this linky, just remember to read at least another couple of posts in the link up after adding your link. I will read and comment on all posts and tweet them out for you. I also have a Pinterest board devoted to Word of the Week and I will add posts to Mix Please add the badge below to your post so that others may find us and join in. If you comment or tweet then please use the hashtag #WotW

If you are unfamiliar with the Word of the Week linky then please feel free to ask any questions. New linkers are always welcome, we love to hear what you have been up to in the past week.
MY WORD OF THE WEEK – England
You may have heard that the England football team have made it to the Final of the European Cup and will be playing on Sunday. I’m not a big football fan, but I do tend to watch big matches like the Euro’s or the World Cup. I was watching the Denmark match when Christian Eriksen dropped on the pitch and it caused me some distress having been close to situation like that myself. (It was a family member in a hospital foyer, not on a football pitch.) But, I was happy to hear that Christian Eriksen is making a good recovery. It’s certainly been an eventful season, particularly with travel restrictions and reduced crowds.
The England/Denmark match had me on the edge of my seat and I dread to think how I will be feeling on Sunday. I was around when England beat Germany to win the World Cup, but I don’t think I paid that much attention to it as I’d not long been born.
I have to wish England the best of luck on Sunday, and I truly hope that football will be coming home. It’s about time!!
On another note, which fits in nicely with my current read. I’m listening to Mrs England by Stacey Halls. It’s an historical novel with the main character being a children’s nurse originally from my hometown of Birmingham. Historical novels were not my usual go to read, but this is the third book I’ve read from Stacey Halls and the other two were really good so I am hoping this one will be too.
Check out my latest competition to win a garlic crusher from Oliver’s Kitchen.
Now it’s over to you, what word or phrase sums up your week this week?
Come on England! We are not big footie fans like you too. But we love watching big matches like this. Coming back to check out this competition in a bit. Have a great weekend and a great week ahead.
It’s coming home, It’s coming home, It’s coming! Football’s coming home!! hehehe
I would have liked us to go a different route to the final just so Denmark could have got to the final too. They deserved it just as much as us after the past few weeks they’ve had.
I am looking forward to Sunday although I think I will be watching it from behind my hands. x

I think I would have been less nervous about an England vs Denmark final. The Danes are huge…but they do tire quicker. The Italians just want to win no matter what. x
We only tend to watch big matches too. The England-Denmark game was exciting wasn’t it? Sophie is very excited about the final. It would be amazing if England win. The Mrs England books sounds interesting – might have to add it to my ‘to-read’ list. #WotW

Mrs England has been a slow starter but I’m so hooked now. The characters are so intriguing. I am so looking forward to the match tomorrow, I don’t think I’ve ever said that before 🙂
I must be the only person who hasn’t been watching! So I won’t tune into the final either in case I jinx it. I have mixed feelings about it, there’s been a huge spike in cases where I live caused by people going to pubs to watch the match and not social distancing. On the other hand it’s good for “the country” and all that.
They are doing well. I’m not a football fan and we’ve not watched the matches, but I have paid attention to the scores. It’s nice to hear something positive in the news.
Love your word of the week. We are big footie fans in our house and are all feeling a bit grumpy today (not helped that we are 2 hours ahead of the UK, so it was a very late night!). #MMBC
Well well, it’s going (to) Rome! Never mind, the World Cup is coming up next year and I like to watch that as they will have the female players too.
All in all, it was a good and intense game, wasn’t it?
It really was, I hated that it went to penalties and I felt so nervous. But our boys did well, all of them.
The world cup was an interesting watch. It did throw me that they kept calling it 2020. Totally losing track of the years. It’s a shame we didn’t get to bring it home #WotW
