Enjoying retirement
In The Red Rose County
An intimate ground where Lancashire do well. I was there on my own for one day and with Frances for another. Lancashire won by 6 wickets against a strong Hampshire side. It was very hot and sometimes the pavilion was the best place...... During one interval, some players (Second team perhaps, but they were on christian name terms with the Hampshire fielders) practiced with a tennis ball and a plastic bat filled with of all things - beer! This was drunk by one of the players at the end. The cricket ground is in an area of Birkdale which is very wealthy indeed as pics of some of the houses show...... This particular one appears to have its own observatory...... Some were for sale so we can sneak a look inside......... On our way home we stopped on some dunes overlooking Southport's marine lake and had a little picnic....very nice.
