Ah well!

Cricket

Not a lot to say, apart from, over the years we English do get our hopes lifted only to be let down with an almighty dump, by those who really have the talent but consistently fail!

Once again we let a side off the hook, gave them the boost of confidence they certainly needed, and now look where we are.
Collingwood as brilliant as he may be in the field, will need to show something more than he has so far. I can see Bell promoted up the order. As for Pieterson,words fail me.



Taken up residence





Our friend from the Caucasus's first pictured in November and his 4 plain male Chinese friends are still in residence, taking the crumbs and spill off the bird feeders.
The beech have lost their colour, but he seems even brighter.
He'll have to watch out though,if we get the promised snow, and we can't get to the dealer in Louth, our ordered goose may have to wait until the New Year!!


Just found this!

Just having a clear up of stuff and found this from October 1998 our 25th anniversary trip out to Jamaica
We had been out for a few hours catching nothing and was on the way back in when we got the take.
It came in like a heavy wet blanket, they did the big acceleration to set the hooks and the hook slid down the side of the fish and it ended up coming in backwards, and as a result drowned. Not a proud moment, but the hotel wanted a shot.
It would have been returned but ended up as a fine meal for the villagers. We had a steak, very nice too but what a shame.
