Self-reinvention is a way to stay young, as long as you can remember what you were. I recall being an author, journalist, photographer, truffle grower, climate change writer, magazine editor and publisher, but who can be sure? Born at 313ppm
This was our Sunday lunch: Cassel's Milk Stout being the beer in this old-fashioned beef carbonnade. It's a long-established family favourite.
Another photo from half a century ago: Notting Hill carnival, August 1977. An aromatic day...
And finally, because the monarch traditionally pops in to say hi during the Lords Test, we have Her Maj being introduced to the Windies players by a somewhat stooping Clive Lloyd. Tall fella, Clive... 5/5 Scorecard: www.espncricinfo.com/series/west-...
At the other end, we have Bernard Julien (?) about to deliver, with - is that Bob Woolmer? - backing up. Don't recognise the fielder. 4/5
I couldn't swear to it, but that looks like Andy Roberts in his delivery stride. The batsman backing up resembles Chris Old, and the umpire is the unmistakable Dickie Bird. 3/5
D B Close playing and missing. Not a helmet in sight, despite the WIndies attack including Holder, Holding and Roberts. David Constant is the square leg umpire, and is that Alvin Kallicharran at backward square? 2/5
Go away for a few days, and one of our roadside trees decides to do this. With daughter on the wrong side. #countrylife
The view from my chair, waiting for the pork to finish roasting, while sipping a glass of our 2018 pinot.
Happy band of pilgrims... (Canterbury Rally roaring past the farm. Noisy bastards.)
Dry as a Tory budget. Only 4.8mm of rain so far this month, and drought looms. #seenwhilecycling
