I'm a big fan of William Morris textiles.<br />I think the problem with cricket is that it is vaguely similar to baseball and we try to understand it based on that, but that's a false analogy because they're really nothing alike.Mac n' Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05732924562630675589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-911604654446032587.post-16006078851500679822010-02-27T09:05:10.209-08:002010-02-27T09:05:10.209-08:00You need my husband with you when you next watch a...You need my husband with you when you next watch a cricket match, now that he's retired he spends his summers watching cricket all over England. I love watching it too and understand enough to follow the game easily. The fielding positions still confuse me though even after a lifetime! Slips, gully and short leg I know but after that I'm lost:) You're going to be staying in a lovely part of England. Have you visited Kelmscott Manor? It was the country home of William Morris and is absolutely wonderful, it's also quite near Lechlade. Having said that it's in the back of beyond and down miles of narrow country lane - so far down that you become convinced that you've missed it! It's also only open on certain days so you need to find a leaflet or check the website http://www.kelmscottmanor.org.uk/Rowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13679130612798888266noreply@blogger.com
