Mm Links May 2014 Week 5
This is “King Cliffyg”
Today England take on Sri Lanka at Lords, the home of cricket. Cricket is a major part of my life. My own club Loughton, where I am Chairman, is involved in training youngsters in schools and at our ground as part of a programme called Chance to Shine.
A young girl from Loughton has been invited to be the mascot for today’s game. So tune in and you will see her with the players at the toss.
As well as my wife, children and grandchildren, the other passion in my life is Jess our black Labrador. She is now ageing, unlike the puppy picture of her on my profile. But she is still happy to have long walks and chase ducks, squirrels, rabbits, or DeeCee.
None of what I have done in life, and particularly in retirement, would have been possible without my wife Jo who has put up with me for nearly 42 years. After all these years we are still happiest at home cuddled up with a nice bottle of red wine watching an old film like High Society listening to Bing Crosby and Grace Kelly.
I will try to be more helpful this week. We want a high scoring match both at Lords and on MM
Links.
It looks like we could have a dramatic and exciting ending.
It is a real mêlée and anyone could break clear of the pack and win.
You will need to read carefully, be on the ball, and not be stumped by any red herrings.
Don’t be misled as in this game fair play is paramount. It could be a test of your reasoning.
Look within and don’t go running round in circles.
If you are stuck open a bottle of red and listen to some music.
