Yes the figure hunched over his bat is me!!!! I know the stance isn’t great! Yesterday all our four Gloucestershire Over 60s teams won their games! In three of them 100s were scored- I wasn’t one of them!!! However, I managed my troops to what turned out to be a comfortable victory over Warwickshire and was chuffed with my fielding (several diving stops and a catch).

Delighted with the birds in our garden at the moment with so many young birds around. We are getting around 15 different species a week turning up that land somewhere, so I can’t count the swallows and martins over. We are also hearing oystercatcher, tern and cuckoo frequently.

Off to bird watch with young people at Wick Court later and have our Book Club BBQ tonight – we are discussing Small Things Like These – a provocative and beautifully written book.
