Watching my 11 yr old play a District cricket match.
He's just scored a beautiful 4 with the last ball of the match.

As his Father, I 99% don't want to be anywhere else in the world right now....



But 1% of me wants to be here. With him and my dad.
So well do this in few years years...

The Mk1 Granada was top of the class, the Mk2 was competent although fairly average in comparison with the competition. The less said about the Mk3 the better.

Mrs UTH has to be nice to me today.
It’s very unsettling.
