ANOTHER DAY OF RAIN IN LEEDS

By Brian Sanderson,

On Sunday night I spent some time decideing want the best area to go and watch cricket with Andrew from London.Looking at the computor I decided on Barnard Castle in County Durham.The reason for this that the rain should have cleared and also we could stay warm in The Bowes Museum.

The rain had cleared and spent an excellent two and half hours inthe Museum.Ron Deaton had mention the Museum a number of times and recommanded it.There are 18 rooms full of material collected by the Bowes.The museum was perposed by the family.The highlight of the trip is the silver swan which at 2.00 is  wind up and the swan moves. I nwould recommand it.

Moving on to Barnard Castle cricket ground the third team were playing Darlington R.A.CC.The home side were batting with Mike Stanwix .There were four of the family playing in the team.There wwas a cold easterly wind blowing so decided only to watch until cold drinks after 25 overs.They would have been better with soup.Looking this morning the home side reached 207 for8 and then bowled out Darlington for 105.

On arrived back in Leeds it was still raining.Right decision for a change.There has been over 1900 visit to this site last month.One of the country was Costa Rica he must have arrived in error.
