the game begins

The oldest hockey club in the world meets just behind our apartment, and maybe one of these days I'll learn how to play. But this blog isn't really about hockey at all.

The first time I heard my English husband utter 'jolly hockey sticks!', I fell completely in love with the phrase and resolved to use it as often as possible. Unfortunately, it sounds absolutely absurd when said in an American accent.

So I'm contenting myself with this blog title. That is until I perfect my very posh English accent, which seeing as it has been six years already, might be quite a while!
