Week 171 – June 19th – Keswick
Today we travelled up to the Lake District for a few days away. Claire’s dad came with us, first holiday without her mum.
Looking up to the hills from Keswick town centre. We were staying in a cottage on a farm just outside Keswick.
Hopefully the weather will be good for the week.
Hope you enjoy the pictures from the holiday.

Week 171 – June 19th – Oval response
This was the response I got back from the Oval.
“Hi Michael,
We have not received feedback regarding crowds around the ground this year. This is very valuable feedback for us to look into to ensure everyone in the ground feels safe.
I hope this answers your question.
Kind regards,
Maddie”
I did reply, saying was surprised at this, due to the increase in the ground capacity, but not in actual ground space. I just hope nothing happens at the Ashes as is a sell-out.
