Entering the 4th week of Radiotherapy with my beloved family member and unpleasant side effects are building, as is normal for many people in this situation. As Churchill said, when going through hell, keep going! One day at a time. Memory Month continues and it is nice to look back with a smile.
My all time favourite cricket ground in the world, Lord's in St John's Wood, London NW8. I love the stripy blazers of the MCC members, I love the shape of the ground and the brilliant viewpoints from anywhere inside. I love the atmosphere there most of all. I don't fully understand cricket, though my Hubby does. He attends and watches whilst listening to the radio commentary on a small transistor radio and headphone and enjoys and understands every second. I just love the elegance of the game and could watch it all day! This was taken 12th June 2014 at the England v Sri Lanka match.
A great capture, I went once, about 45 years ago when I followed cricket in the Botham days. I remember a long hot sunny day, a good time but a lot of noise from the West Indian supporters banging tins together!!
It’s an impressive building & ground. I’m probably a bit of a philistine where cricket is concerned, our national game holds no interest for me whatsoever….
Amen to Mr. Churchill. I understand. As for Cricket, my daughter’s Godfather ( Englishman living in Ely ) once tried to explain it to this Yank. I had that “deer in the headlights” look when he was finished. Nice shot BTW
I’m not much of a cricket fan, I follow the North American spinoff - baseball, but I’ve heard of Lord’s Cricket Ground. Isn’t that where they play The Ashes?
I used to have a much loved boss who'd sit in his office with the radio on very low, listening to cricket. I never quite understood that! xx
