8th August 1991

Driving back yesterday from a visit to the town of Vouvray, which is on the Loire, having been to purchase some wine with a friend. We passed a place where we know we had stopped for a picnic on the 8th August 1991.

Strange you may think, but on that date about 1 p.m. as we were getting into our filled baguette a gentleman, obviously English from his dress, rushed over to us. ""Do you have a radio, have you heard any news? " he anxiously enquired. "Yes", we replied, " isn't great that John McCarthy has been freed ". "No no" he replied,"what's the cricket score?"
You can take an Englishman away from cricket but not the cricket out of an Englishman (spoken by a Welshman)
