Nottingham
Two days of 2nd XI cricket this season and two washouts. Not good!
Nottinghamshire were at home to Lancashire but there was never much chance of cricket with the rain pretty constant.
So I got a seat in the pavilion, read my paper, read Le Figaro (my French paper - I'm trying to read up on the French elections. French politics was my specialism at university) and also read up on Saltaire CC.
I had a cup of tea and also ordered a lunch. When this arrived I was not disappointed. Chilli plus rice and salad and there was so much left I could have second helpings too.
Not many big names playing in the game - only really Oliver Newby on the Lancashire side. Jeremy Lloyds was umpiring and Gary Yates was looking after the Lancashire boys.
The ground was large and functional - a bit like Weetwood in Leeds. Not pretty but OK.
It was actually in the shadow of Trent Bridge, with the two soccer grounds nearby too.
The day's play was called off after lunch and I nipped into town for a coffee before getting the train to Sheffield for my cinema course.
