It was great to see my friend James/Tesco and his fellow mighty Eights playing cricket once again this afternoon. I checked a couple of days ago, and he told my that they would be playing today at the historic Woolwich Academy. That isn’t far away, and as I rolled up to the pavilion there earlier this afternoon, being recognised and greeted by the guys I first saw play many summers ago in Charlton Park, it felt like a great weight had been lifted from my shoulders. At once I felt at peace, and spent the rest of the afternoon sipping beers in the shade watching a cricket match unfold. And so, although my friends lost by quite a considerable margin, I think this might be an appropriate song to direct everyone to.
