The aftermath of yesterday’s rain has left loads of standing water everywhere. I ventured to Wick Court this morning and the moat was completely full covering the stones at the side completely so my grey wagtail we have seen the last two weeks has nowhere to go!

The cricket from Pakistan is a run fest (low scoring games are usually more interesting). You have to take your hat off to Joe Root now the highest scoring English Test batsman! Some of his cover drives and Harry Brook’s were exquisite to watch!

Blog maybe intermittent over the next few days as we will be in Southern Italy so I can only blog on my phone.
