I said I had a better train tale (still struggling with the compensation claim!) On Monday we had a traditional August Bank Holiday family event. My late Sister’s family and my Brother’s family and mine all meet at Heath Park Cardiff to ride on a plethora of mini trains.  18 adults and 10 children had a great time (so did the children!)- One picture below -can you spot The Story Traveller (wearing a crumpled hat).

Yesterday I took my Gloucestershire Over 60s cricket team with some trepidation to Wales to play the number 1 seeds in the knockout competition . As captain my main job was to win the toss because there was so dampness on the pitch and rain possibly later. Of course I lost it! However my team battled an awkward pitch to score 176. We thought it might be a par score. When Wales went in the game fluctuated with each team having moments. It started to rain so my brilliant bowlers had a wet ball to contend with a wet ball. Duckworth Lewis looked like coming into play- we were ahead then behind as one batsmen started to hit sixes and it looked like we were heading for defeat. My superb bowlers struck back and ended up winning by 13 runs! We were cock a hoop and we now face a semi-final at home to Surrey next week! My team pictured below!
