This year sees me reach a significant age so I have set myself the task of cycling to my immediate close family members. Yesterday with my eldest son David we cycled to the nearest (other son Peter) at Bishop’s Cleeve (27 miles) including climbing Cleeve Hill (it is often in the Tour of Britain). Lovely to ride and not worry about rain for a change. We have had a delightful weekend with all our family and have thoroughly enjoyed playing with my wonderful grandchildren.

Big sporting day for me tomorrow- it looks like I will play my first game of cricket for the season so far I have lost 5 games! It is an international – we are playing Wales!

Of course the Mighty Hatters have the second leg of the Championship play off semi-final tomorrow night. Just hope they play for 90 or possibly 120 minutes unlike Saturday where we only played for forty-five! Fingers will be firmly crossed!!!!
