First day of proper sunshine in2 weeks yesterday, so Castlerigg it has to be!

I was just looking at your (always brilliant) As it Happened and saw this: I thought “isn’t Bethell a leftie, so surely the slips shouldn’t be there? And isn’t that Brook running to the strikers end?” That must be Root batting then?

We were very lucky last Friday morning whilst following in your footsteps.

The Midwest, oh how I love thee.

Of all the things we thought we’d discover in Iowa ……

Fabulous storm in Keswick last night.

Bumped into the amazing Greg James in Liverpool today.

The amazing Jane Weaver in Stockport on Friday night.

We were in the best position of all on Thursday at the Ferret. What a privilege to see these 3 guys play.

The House of All rhythm section showing everyone how it’s done in Preston last night.

A remarkable reverse playing record from the remarkable Richard Dawson.

We set off early and booked a table at the Harvester to be met by this at the door!
