I am off in a little while for T20 international at Bristol. Tickets arrived through contact with one of my fellow Hatters (a convoluted route!)

It has been a blur of activity this morning with family staying overnight and then rushing off for their swimming lessons.

Two woodpeckers spotted in the garden by the boys one must be a juvenile. Both boys have been indoctrinated and can name most of the birds in our garden! Grandparents have their uses!
