We hadContinue reading “Cricket England v South Africa”
Chippenham, Cardiff and Cricket.
Debbie and I left yesterday and travelled to Chippenham. A detour to the Swindon retail outfit resulted in English pounds being spent and a easy ride to our hotel for the evening. A walk around to find our bearings and a refreshing cider each had to be done. Before we knew it it was timeContinue reading “Chippenham, Cardiff and Cricket.”
