As you’re reading this, I am at Edgbaston for the cricket. I am hoping that I will be bathed in endless sunshine, cheerfully watching a day of exciting cricket…and that British Summer Time will once again remember that it is July, not November or monsoon season. I was ever an optimist!

10 years ago I had less interest in cricket than I had in the native flaura and fauna of Siberia…that is to say, none! But my dad had a spare ticket and I had a spare day…and, well, it was great! Of course back then it involved large quantities of beer, but even in my more sober days, it is a great day out. Weather permitting, it is relaxing, play permitting, there is a party atmosphere, and aside from my frequent questions (what’s he doing over there, what happened there, and what the chuff is a googly) it is a most pleasant day out.

I tell you this not to encourage you to go to a cricket match, but to encourage you to try something new. When was the last time you did something you’ve never tried before? Went somewhere you’ve never been before? Seen a sport you’ve never seen before? You never know, you may find yourself still going 10 years later, and still enjoying it!

Love
