It's cricket season and boy do I know it.

If you read my blog you will know I'm a huge cricket fan. Mr M plays I used to score but now do the teas.

Well we have joined a new club this year Mr M fancied a change and wanted to play without the politics that the last club endured.

So we have all gone to a new club. I am on tea rota and did my first tea on Saturday. It's split between to and we get reimbursed. ( last year I did the teas every week and the club didn't have enough money so it was out of our own pocket)

This week I did.
Egg and Cress Sandwichs
Tuna Sandwiches
Sausage rolls
Potato wedges
Victoria sponge
Lemon drizzle
Chocolate orange brownies - this has been requested again.
Melon.

It all went very quickly and I had lots of praise.

Today I'm aching a bit as I played my first ever womens match. I didn't bat thankfully and I fielded well stopping the ball going over the boundary though I am feeling it today those short sharp quick sprints. I have played before at school with the boys and filling in on occasion for the men. I really enjoyed but having spent nearly all weekend at the club I'm going to have to say I will fill in when they are desperate as not much got done around the house and garden this weekend.

Choices and baking

It's been a day of baking today I made a white loaf and some flapjack. Tomorrow is a chocolate cake that is suitable for my daughter who has to be dairy,egg and gluten free. I just won't tell her it has avocado in it!

As some of you know I have an allotment and after having my tools taken I'm really questioning about carrying on with it I have till Friday to decide.

I enjoy having my plot even though at times it's very frustrating I'm near the water tap and people have no qualms about walking over my plot as a short cut. The fact we can't have a shed makes it easier for things to get taken despite having a locked plastic box (surprisingly easy to break into so I have learnt) part of me wants to give it another bash the other part is thinking why bother. I still want to grow my own and have just enough room in my garden for pots filled with peas, beans, salad leaves, radishes and courgettes. though I don't have space for brassicas, carrots or potatoes. Though I would beable to get a small green house to grow a few tomatoes and for pottering about in Which will be a lot easier to manage with the children playing outside. I'm always on tender hooks at the plot as some of them are a funny bunch and don't seem to like children about.

Any advice or suggestion greatly appreciated as I'm a little confused and lost what to do.
