well done mrs p

well done mrs p for completing this years race for life in ipswich.
it was more of a swim for life with the heavy rain that fell pretty much all the time but that didn't seem to slow anyone down.
congratulations to mrs p, colleen (see pre-race picture above), and all those who took part in ipswich and across the country.

it's almost time

the new cricket season is almost here! ( i can just hear mrs p groaning in the background)

at 1:30pm on sunday we (that's elmswell cricket club) will begin our season with a home match against a team from earl stonham.

i'm really looking forward to it but at the moment i'm not getting too excited as the weather forecast is not too good. hopefully, all being well i will be able to put an update on hear with how we got on asap after the game.

also, i've put a little poll on this blog to find out how people think we're going to get on so feel free to cast your vote.

the sound of leather on willow

its getting closer, i can almost hear it, the sound of the new cricket season for elmswell cc looming on the horizon (can a sound loom on the horizon? well you know what i mean!).

our first match is a friendly against lavenham towards the end of april and i'm really looking forward to it. not sure if mrs p is but i think she secretly likes the lazy sunday afternoons watching us play.

this season we're in division 3 so things are going to be a bit tougher i think, and we've also decided to enter this seasons cup competition too just to spice things up a bit.

anyway, i'll be keeping a record of our games on here so be sure to come back every sunday night (or bit later in the week if i'm too tired to blog) to find out how we're doing.

we've only gone and done it!!!

as you can see we are now officailly mr & mrs plowy. we had a wonderful day, the sun shone and the new mrs plowy looked stunning.

i'd just like to thank everyone who helped make our day so happy and a day both of us will never forget.

camper!

me and mrs plowy (soon to be) have decided to start planning what will be the trip of a lifetime.

we both really fancied going to new zealand but didn't really see the point in going for just a couple of weeks as there's just too much to take in.

so, after seeing them telly, we've decided to hire a really cool campervan and drive from one end of the country to the other. now when i say "campervan" i don't mean any old thing i mean one of these babies!

each van is individually painted with a different design and there are loads to choose from. they are fairly roomy (for a van!) and have a surprising range of facilities.

Its hopefully gonna be the trip of a lifetime, with the freedom to go almost anywhere we want and the pace we want.

It want happen for a couple of years as we'll have to save quite a bit but its something to aim for. watch this space!

ps. the title of this post is an in joke for anyone who has played a childs boardgame called 'jump the queue'. you know who you are! (camper, limpo, scooooooooter!)
