Dart update

For the last couple of weeks I have relaxed and finally found my rhythm and everything seems to have clicked, with scoring becoming easier and certainly doubles and generally my aim away from 20s is good. It means practising now is fun and I can see progress with my all round game and its always […]

A reason for living?

All I want is to give him the opportunity to love cricket as much as I do and watching him play fills me with so much joy! As we drove home last night he was so excited to recount what he’d just done was absolutely brilliant. Maybe he might one day be 53 years old […]

Bunbury away

It’s far, a club I don’t recall ever playing, I want Lincoln to love cricket it’s Wednesday and I have a pool match but at 20:45 I am stood waiting with SandbachCC U11s to hear if they won or not. As a parent sacrifice is necessary and tonight I got to do it all and […]

Screaming

I’m not sure I am in the right frame of mind to say how today went…it was great being out in the sun driving around Cheshire but today  was mentally tough and as I sat apologising to Jamie for being a dick who’s just frustrated @alb1970  

Step up to U13s

Tonight Lincoln was asked to play for SandbachCC U13s and he was asked to field which did diligently where ever he was told to, generally between mid on and deep mid wicket so did a lot of running at each change of over. He did not complain but was visibly disappointed as the Middlewich innings […]

Never shit on your own doorstep

I went out this afternoon and met up with John and really enjoyed letting me hair down with me best mate. Jamie had taken Reagan to Chester earlier leaving me and Lincoln to our own devices so we went to get Nannie a pot with a few plants in it for her birthday tomorrow. After […]

180 and pottering

It was a lovely day and perfect for pottering, we walked the Middlewich Walk first thing got some plants and compost from the garden centre and spent the rest of the day pottering in the garden occasionally going to my shed to play darts where I scored another 180 the second in as many days

Half term carnage

In a zoom meeting today around 3:15 when my phone goes with a local number I did not recognise. Is that Reagan’s Dad? After confirming that it was I, the lady told me my daughter had been accused of taking photos in class and that due to privacy rules the school have confiscated her phone […]

Woodworking is slay?

I got a text today saying look Daddy what do you think of my school woodwork project? It’s a candle holder… Now, to me, that is perfection for one reason only, Reagan is so proud of it she couldn’t wait to show me! I love it, the best thing is she made it with her […]

Lots of emotions

When I got home from cricket, Reagan was happily at home on her own after Mommy picked her up from horse riding, and then left to meet me and Linc at ElworthCC. She is growing up so fast and there maybe many negatives about her behaviour as she finds her place in this world to […]
