Today was a big day for English cricket and the Young family! The Cheshire County League teams - Barrow and Lindow (Tim's team) were playing in Great Barrow. We packed a big picnic to last the whole 6 hours! We got the picnic out as soon as we got there! There was some sun initially but as the day went on the sun started to disappear and the cold wind increased! We found a great position with a good angle to watch the game but the wind was particularly cold there...

Calvin went for a run this morning for the first time in ages. It was more of a walk and run along the Wirral Way to Gayton and back. Fiona, Barnaby, Kate and Calvin headed over to Frodsham in the morning to put some flowers on the family graves at St Laurence Church cemetery. It would have been Kate's nana's birthday tomorrow so we headed over to Helsby Tesco to pick up some roses, carnations and irises and some groceries for dinner and for a picnic during Tim's...

Fiona picked us up from the station and drove around rainy Liverpool to look at the old grand building before parking at John Lewis...

We took the tube to Chancery Lane station to get a quote for Calvin's camera at the other Sendeans office so that he could get it sorted with travel insurance. Final report: irreparable and better to be replaced. After that we wandered through the...

Errands day in London. The morning was spent in Clapham where Kate had hair and beautician appointments. While that was all going on, Calvin wandered around Clapham High Street and ended up registering with a GP practice - just in case he needed it in the future. Much easier than trying to register with the practice that Kate tried yesterday! Once all that was sorted, we caught the tube to busy Oxford Circus. It was lunch time and you could tell - the streets wer...
