As the weather was quite decent today, we decided to go for a walk at Lullingstone Country Park.
Just a couple of pictures from the walk.

Week 108 – April 9th – Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore
This afternoon we went to see Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore.
Compared to the 1st film, I thought this was very slow going and dragged out in places and not as good as the 1st film.
At least it was comfortable watching in the recliner seats.

Week 107 – April 3rd – Woman’s Cricket World Cup Final
Australia 356-5 in 50 overs (Alyssa Healy 170, Rachael Haynes 68, Beth Mooney 62, Anya Shrubsole 10-0-46-3) beat England 285 in 43.4 overs (Natalie Sciver 148*, Megan Schutt 8-0-42-2, Alana King 10-0-64-3, Jess Jonassen 8.4-0-44-3) by 71 runs.
Delayed by a year due to the Covid 19 pandemic, the Woman cricket world cup final was played today.
Somehow England managed to make the final, after becoming the first team at any World Cup to lose their first three games.
Though they came up against the mighty Australian team who had been unbeaten and have only lost two games since the last World Cup in 2017, which we had seen England win at Lords in one of the most enjoyable days of my life.
Alyssa Healy (player of the match and tournament), made the highest score in any World Cup final (women’s or men’s) with hitting already the ground after a steady start and was given great support by Rachael Haynes and Beth Mooney.
Anya Shrubsole the player of the match in 2017 final, was the only England bowler to really trouble the Australians.
In reply only Natalie Sciver made any impact with the bat in scoring a brilliant 148*, but no real support from anyone else as Australia rightly won the final by 71 runs.
