The Home Nation Tournament held bi-annually
In between the year World Cup & Euros there is a summer where fans really want football. There are other sports that take place on a regular basis, F1 Tennis Golf, but what about adding the Home Nations Football Tournament in the odd years?
There are 2 qualifying games held in the early summer of the odd years so the tournament can be held a week after them games, with the same squad. Two games can be held on Saturday, two games can be held on Wednesday and the final two games can be held on Sunday.
Sat: England V Scotland & Northern Ireland V Wales
Wed: Wales V England & Scotland V Northern Ireland
Sun: England V Northern Ireland & Wales V Scotland.
like the Six Nations the teams will swap who get to play home for each tournament. Also this keeps the tournament in a small window of the summer for players to have a break.
Another reason to do this would be a financial reason. The Scottish Welsh and Northern Ireland FAs do not have a lot of money coming in because they are not in the World Cup or Euros to gain the monies, which would help then develop there national Academies. The Home Nations Tournament can help them. By sell TV rights around the world.
Also it would be good for all the players involved. If they feel the win of a tournament it will give them more confidence going into the qualifying groups. Success breads Success.

The Smallest House In Great Britain, Conwy, Wales
The house was created in the 16th century. The smallest house in Great Britain measures 72 inches across, 122 inches high and 120 inches deep. The house has a living area and bedroom. It was last occupied in 1900 by a fisherman called Robert Jones. Robert was 6ft 3″. The rooms were too small for him to stand up in fully. He had to leave as the house was declared unfit for human habitation.

I’ve been here before, and it was amazing. There’s also the remains of an Ancient Roman bath house and the foundation of the barracks that would have housed the soldiers.

This year's Mental Health Awareness Week, we are celebrating humanity's longstanding connection to nature, and its capacity to inspire us and help us to heal and grow in mind, body and spirit.
As we confront the challenges of an increasingly complex and digital world, the importance of the connection between humanity and nature takes on even more significance.
The Mother Nature series is a reminder and reflection of the beauty and complexity of the human experience. It is a tribute to the lessons we can learn from nature, helping us to foster our own growth, strengthen our bonds with the world around us and each other. C

“The Household Cavalry is renowned worldwide for the splendours of all those unique ceremonies at the heart of the nation, and today, seeing you all on parade here, I can see you continue to represent the very best of that ceremonial brilliance.”
The King addressed troops today during the Presentation of New Standards to The Life Guards and The Blues and Royals.
The King, as Colonel in Chief of the Household Cavalry, and The Princess Royal, as Colonel of The Blues and Royals, inspected the Parade at Windsor Castle, before the Standards were presented.
The Standards symbolise the Cavalry Squadrons’ history, achievements and identity, and are held in the highest reverence.

The King’s new Great Seal of the Realm has been unveiled, a symbol of Sovereign authority traditionally affixed to official state documents to signify Royal approval.
Uniquely designed for each Monarch, the Seal's design was approved by His Majesty, who entrusted it into the custody of the Lord High Chancellor during a Privy Council meeting. In keeping with centuries-old tradition, the old Seal was symbolically defaced by the Monarch himself and preserved for historical record.
King Charles ||| 💬 “I do hope your celebrations tonight are almost as joyful, although I rather doubt I shall have the energy to sing until 2am, let alone for that matter to lead you all in a giant conga from here back to Buckingham Palace!”
Last night at 9pm, The King delivered a speech to mark exactly 80 years since his grandfather, King George VI, addressed the nation on VE Day.
