Can I organise a village cricket team? We can play on a parched common which has circles in the corners where the fairies have been, and hoof marks from the horse that has no owner. We can play friendly matches against local pipe smokers in the height of summer. Jen can help me organise the teas. Cucumber sandwiches, chocolate slices and butterfly cakes. All the partners can come and sit at the side, clapping appropriately, making sure the children (and Erica) get up to no mischief, and occasionally mending grazes. Oh, I can smell the freshly cut grass now, hear the children laughing, feel the sun beating on my back as I patrol the covers. "Well bowled there sir, that's good cricket all round!". Afterwards we all meet in the pavilion for a post match pint and natter before getting off home to watch the sun set.
