Wish me luck as you wave me goodbye
Cheerio, here I go on my way
Your correspondent will be London-bound in the morning. Not to see our Ian and Zach but to visit the national football stadium at Wembley. There, my team - Hull City will be playing another Yorkshire club - Middlesbrough - in The Championship play-off final. The prize will be a place in The English Premier League.
I just hope that our lads put up a good fight. If we lose - so be it. May the best team win.
Hull City have been in two previous play-off finals - 2008 and 2016. We won them both - first against Bristol City and then Sheffield Wednesday. I attended both matches and blogged about them here and here.
My best mate, Tony, will be with me all the way along with another Tigers supporter - Karl from Rotherham. Tragically, he is fighting the demon they call Cancer so this big match is extra special for him. It is good that Tony and I will be with him because he is on heavy duty medication as you can imagine. Let us hope that City win it for him.
Normally I never dress in club colours but tomorrow I will be getting out the same team shirt that I wore in 2008 and 2016 as I join the black and amber army. "COME ON YOU 'ULL!"

In other Yorkshire Pudding news, your faithful correspondent walked out of the house this warm day in late May and walked and walked in a four mile loop that took in Ecclesall Woods, Dobcroft Road, Millhouses Park, London Road and Ecclesall Road. It was all about exercise but you never know what you might see along the way:
