Saturday afternoon and we're using our picnic set.
One of the sadder things about our wedding was being given a picnic set as a present, which was something Robyn had always wanted.
Unfortunately, I was never going to be able to use it.....or so I thought;
Well, I certainly wasn't going to be lying on any blanket - I'd need an ambulance crew to get me up again.
We walked down to the village green and spent an hour or so watching the cricket.
I even got an action shot - the ball about to be hit;
But it didn't go so well as all that. I'd overdone it a bit the day before and today was even worse. I had a lot of pain on the bench while we were watching the game and walking home was a real struggle - completed in extra slow motion.
No pain, no gain as they say.

This morning we went to the 'Age Concern' sale and then walked back across the village green, taking a look at the last minute preparations for the cricket match.
So, after lunch I went back to spend an hour or two watching the cricket.
Here's the pavilion;
It made a nice change to take an hour or two out of life.
There was plenty of action although the air was still cold to me (it may be my illness, of course)
There was lots happening and even a few 'sixes';
It's just that the wrong side was scoring them!
There's nothing to beat village cricket on a sunny May day.

You don't want to know what Friday was like and I'm not to going to tell you. In the afternoon I escaped from life for an hour to this;
The bails are off the stumps for 'tea' at the village green cricket pitch.
Cricket takes so long there was never time for it when I was working, it was something I was going to watch when I retired.
Ah well.
This is the last day of 'Cricket Week', Wraysbury Cricket Clubs annual week long festival. There's a match every day and teams visit from around the country. There's even a sponsor - flags and hoardings around the pitch.
Remember the spring floods?
This is the green on February 9th;
The stream has dried out a bit now;
