Lords

This morning we spent some time booking a train to Scotland, a B&B for Sturday night in the Cotswalds and a hotel for Monday night in Edinburgh.
We hopped on the train again(we are getting good at the Underground)and went to Lords Cricket Ground. I thought this would be more of Adrian's cup of tea than mine but it was great. It never ceases to amaze me the details that men know about cricket players and games in history. It was interesting. In the photo of the pavillion on the right hand side there is a terrace. That is where the Australian dressing room is. We went in there and I sat where Shane Warne always sits (not intentionally. The guide just told me that is where he sits). Adrian liked him becasue he called him a gentleman and Adrian knew all the answers and asked intelligent questions. The other photo is me in the press centre where all the newspaper people watch from. That bit was built by shipbuilders because regular builders said it couldn't be done. Did you know that they used to keep 500 sheep in a section of the ground as that is how they mowed the grass before mowers were invented? And where they practise used to be a garden where they grew pineapples and tulips. I am sure I found diffeent things interesting to what Adrian did. We saw the urn with the Ashes but they said we weren't allowed to take any photos of it. It is only about 10cm high. It was someon'es wife's idea and nobody really knows what's inside.
By the way, if you click on any of the photos, you get to see them bigger. And you can comment if you have a google account. Just click on the comments box.
