Cricket match

Took the boys to my god-fathers annual cricket match today - although it was the first time I'd actually been.... We had a brilliant day.  My godfathers daughter is my oldest friend and I love seeing her (which isn't very often).  This is her boy, who my boy was clearly happy to be with, in fact, all of her three children did a stint looking after my boys - bliss.  It all made me feel a little old as I remembered being their age and playing in the farm yard pretty much as they were.  

We drove through hail, thunder and lightening to get to my godfathers - and had beautiful sunshine all afternoon once we got there.  Seems that luck was on our side weather wise.  

The boys have eaten way too much, stayed up way to late and generally had the kind of day that all children (and adults) need to have.  They've played with lots of children, hardly seen me and had Granny and Grandpa on hand for the odd cuddle too.  

And no - I didn't actually manage to play any cricket, next year maybe.
