To show people that life can be wonderful even after tough times.
I have an unpopular article to write up after going to The Hundred at The Oval – and having a thoroughly enjoyable time, but the reaction of a handful of Essex ‘fans’ on social media after today’s game has me wanting/needing to write about today’s match. Having my own site gives me my own platform … More Essex v Surrey – and a bit of a rant!
After a pretty horrible week of online rugby nonsense it felt good to be going to a game. I took the train option for a change, I stayed with friends on Friday then drove to Reading, that worked really well all round in spite of the train losing power on the way back!

I’m writing this up as Essex have just lost at Kent, Essex were again bowled out in fewer than the allotted overs, 44.5 to be precise. That alongside a loss for Surrey means they’ll be playing on Tuesday to decide who finishes bottom of the table.

Essex’s first home game saw them bowled out for 69 … More Essex v Yorkshire – The Metro One Day Cup
The rain ‘won’ the day at Old Trafford and Australia retain the Ashes with that draw, there was bound to be at least 1 rain affected match and Australia did what they needed t get the win in the first 2 games.

I’d booked myself a ticket to the Diamond League Athletics at the London Stadium without knowing too much about it. I’ve been to the athletics a few times and have always enjoyed it. A little about the Diamond League – it’s an all round competition with some of the biggest and best talents in athletics. … More Diamond League Athletics – London
This round of matches coincided with the start of the the 4th Ashes Test at Old Trafford, I’m sure many like me were keeping a good eye on proceedings there as well as their own game. We’re in July but the weather looks to be a factor in both the Test and the County calendar, … More County Championship Round 11 – 2023
As the 3rd Ashes Test finished a day early at Headingley s full round of County Championship matches started the following day. I was up in Scotland and saw a lot of rain! And that was replicated across the country. This was a second round using the Kookaburra ball and the result was some very … More County Championship Round 10 – 2023
5 days at Edgbaston for the first Ashes Test meant I was in need of some ‘chilled’ cricket, that, believe it or not came in the shape of a T20 match up between Essex and Kent, a game won by Kent, it was unbelievably low key compared to The Ashes. Next up was Day 1 … More County Championship Round 9 – 2023
Rather than go back to add Days 3 and 4 to my reports I’m going to write a general impression and share my photos from the 5 days.
