Boys Weekend

Posted on October 5, 2008

It has been my turn with the boys this weekend and we have had a busy time of it at my new home. On Friday George had his first indoor cricket match of the season, however special thanks to Cove CC who didn’t bother showing up, and didn’t even have the courtesy to let us know they weren’t coming. You don’t get much ruder than that! We compensated for this by letting the boys play amongst themselves while we relaxed in the bar for an ...

New Home…..Again and a stinking cold!!!

Posted on October 3, 2008

Originating from Tadley, I must have aquired some gypsy blood as I have moved again to village the North Waltham in Hampshire.

Sunny Sunday

Posted on September 23, 2008

Had a lovely day on Sunday, I went with boys to St Catherine's Hill near Winchester to do some blackberry picking, only to find all but the highest ones had been stripped bare, though we did get the few that were left over. One thing was really noticeable though. Last year we got to the higher blackberries by George getting on my shoulders for extra height, this year no chance, he would have broken my neck, and even Harry was a struggle. That's ...
