An idylic afternoon of Cricket and Pang

Simon is playing cricket for Berkshire Gentlemen against Bradfield College - about the poshest place I have ever been - the school is really a whole village and has amazing sports facilities - looking at player names written in gold on the pavilion ceiling - from 1852 up until the present - thinking how many went from the playing field direct to the battlefield, especially in 1914-18.  "The Battle of Waterloo was won on the playing fields of Eaton".  Behind the trees is the river Pang - a beautiful chalk stream with watercress beds and all - very nice little jog up towards its source and back just in time for the final over.

OK - I was tempted - but it was just a little too steep
