Have to celebrate the brilliant Alistair Cook on scoring 10,000 Test runs. What an achievement! He is occasionally seen watching the mighty Hatters when not touring for England.

Talking of the mighty Hatters we went to see the exhibition about the new ground on Saturday. If everything goes well (fingers crossed) it will be an iconic stadium and will regenerate the town centre. It is encouraging that the stadium will be in the town and not some soul less  out of town stadium like many of the new ones are. It is good to see my club taking a leading role in the community.

We also went to George Bernard Shaw’s house in Hertfordshire while there. We are making full use of our National Trust membership!

Enjoying my new bike “Merlin” and I am now flying up the hills well at least a bit faster!!! I am recording quite a few PBs. I am clocking up the miles for the year.
