I'd not had long enough to book time off work on the Saturday (I'd forgotten like normal) but I had the Sunday off. When I saw the weather on the Saturday I was glad of this. It was horrible. Gusty winds and heavy showers. Not good in a boat. Your lunch gets wet :) I'm a bit of a fair wea ...more

Pre Match Product Testing - River Delph

Posted on: 2009-11-09 12:53:40

I'd had the date booked in my diary for months. . . . . I'm not the best forward planner in the world but I was pleased with my efforts. I'd been working hard on the house in readiness for our new baby due in late December. The missus had allowed me the time off for good be ...more
