Wakeham

Well rain stopped play again, and not just here, but also at the Oval as well. Fortunately it stopped late afternoon at the Oval and the England cricketers were able to draw the Ashes series with a terrific win against the Aussies.

So with no walk here today, here are a few images from this day over the past 6 years.
