There has been much international sport taking place in recent weeks. There was also one taking place yesterday which I took part in! I was leading the Gloucestershire Over 60s (3rd team) against the might of Wales. Until yesterday we had always lost. Three quarters of the way through it looked like we were going to lose again until my big fast bowler Mark walked out to bat. He hit a whirlwind 67 in 32 balls to transform the game. We were delighted to get over the line the inflict a first defeat for Wales. It meant I was spared watching the England football match. It was hot playing yesterday!

Today I took the young people from Wyvil Primary School, Vauxhall bird watching at Wick Court. We managed not to melt!
