We're back. I'll post some pictures in due course. While I was gone:

Sir Bobby Robson

Every now and then cricket mounts a challenge to try to steal the spotlight from football.
So I wasn't too surprised when my lover said to me tonight "With the football season over you'll have to become from girls who can't do cricket".
I thought to myself "I don't think so", but said nothing. Click to continue reading...
