Back from my holiday, look for the white bits?…

What excellent timing, I managed to miss all the bad weather by going on my travels to hotter parts. No snow, ice and sub-zero temperatures for me, just sun, sea, sunbathing and strolling. No naughtiness though sadly.

I have returned a little more bronzed and definately more refreshed to cope with what the rest of February has to throw at us.

At least I have returned to the England cricket team making a better fist of it. Our batsmen have remembered how to bat. Congratulations to Alastair Cook on back to back hundreds, very impressive. The bowlers have been magnificent throughout the tour and the selectors have plenty to choose from. And they can throw a bat for the most part too, unlike the Pakistanis.

The mornings and evenings are getting lighter at last and no longer do I have to get up in the dark. Hurrah. In the meantime perhaps I might get a visitor to brighten up the other end of the day….
