Redruth Cricket Club
1 My Brother-in-law, who lives in Warsaw, is staying with us for a couple of weeks and had a wish to see an English Cricket match. We were lucky that the last match of the season was being played at home on the Cricket ground only minutes away from us. It was very relaxing watching the slow progress and pleasing to catch some of the action.

The photos are wonderful. There’s something extremely restful in watching a cricket match in England. Not sure what it is, but being a cricket lover I know it to be true. I remember Michael Parkinson describing the feeling, but I can’t remember where. I think it was on one of his shows.

It was the first time I had experienced watching a real match, had only seen bits on TV before. It really was the most relaxing and pleasing episode. 🙂

I love your spine poems! And I used to detest cricket but I am starting to appreciate it more now that I watched a program on Kerry Packer 😀
Great post!
Cheers
