Well it has been hot few days! My week has been some time in the garden, a couple of medium distance rides and reading! I also played cricket yesterday and I did the first part right and won the toss- obviously with the heat we batted. We managed to post a decent score that was demolished by a powerful Oxfordshire batting side. It will be my last year as captain (I have done three years)- we have one league game left and then the cup competition.

I was at Wick Court this morning bird watching with a youth group from Walton in Liverpool – a wide range of ages! I am story telling for them tomorrow.
