As both myself and the hubby, “celebrate” our 65th birthdays, our diaries are pretty full for 2026. So, unusually, we had no intention of watching any cricket (apart from on the telly). However when the Womens T20 World Cup is being played in England and one of your favourite grounds announces it’s not only hosting…
We have had another fabulous year of sport. Our Lionesses, somehow winning the UEFA Women’s Euros and our Red Roses played exceptionally to win the Women’s World Cup. Fabulous achievements for both teams. In amongst our outings this year, we have spent a bit too much time on the sofa, not only watching and…
Cricket season had arrived and to avoid a full Summer on the sofa, watching it on the telly 😬, we took ourselves off to Canterbury to see the England Ladies squad in a T20 against West Indies. 🏏. It was our first visit to the Spitfire Ground, quite close to the City Centre. A…
What a Summer of sport we’ve had in 2024, from the UEFA Euro football tournament, the glorious Wimbledon Championships, to the Olympics and amazing Paralympic’s, we have dipped in and out of them all from the comfort of our sofa.

After a busy weekend supporting Macmillan and with the marquees now safely stowed away until their next event, the Besties took themselves off, with their eldest three Grandcherubs, for a few days to discover the delights of Portsmouth.

Goodness, what another exciting Summer of sport we’ve had. With so many competitions and championships having been postponed due to the pandemic, we were in danger of spending the whole year on the sofa 🤣🤣🤣 My hubby enjoys watching any sport either men’s or women. I’m a little more selective, but if an English…
Ever since I was a wee lass, I have had a love for cricket. Sunday afternoons, as a child were spent with my siblings, running around the side of the pitch or watching my dear old Dad, play for Old Hastings. I used to think it was because they were so old that it was…
Over the passed few years, the Bestie & I have been taking an increasing interest in our gardens. Both trying to achieve a kaleidoscope of colour from Spring through to Autumn. Although my garden explodes into life during the Summer months, the Bestie’s hard work has extended the gorgeous show in her garden for a…
……………….apart from my poor old camellia 😢 This year I wanted to take control of my garden. I usually start the year with very good intentions, then life and holidays get in the way and I can’t rely on the remainder of the household to even think about pulling the hose out to give the…
