The Funeral

Today is the funeral of Baroness Thatcher, as I said last week, love her or loath her, she was a great woman and as Prime Minister her policy of not standing down in the face of opposition is something that the Government of today and the future should remember. Much has been written about her in the press good and bad. however today is really a day for her family and friends to pay their respects. most of us have the chance to do this in relative privacy. Today because of her standing in the history of England she will be honoured.
RIP Margaret Thatcher.


That aside, The Tykes were in action in  action against Lancashire, Tim Bresnan was back in the fold and great to see him back to bowling fitness. his along with the other bowlers put on a great display of Yorkshire bowling. Liam Plunkett and jack brooks, winter signings and house mates, further pushed their claim for inclusion in the team next week against Durham with two wickets a piece. Lancashire ended the day 267-7.

Durham are at Egdbaston this week starting today. this is one of Lady Laineys favourite grounds for it is here that the great Ronnie Irani waved to her!! and better still where she was photographed with him. Oh great days and so much fun.

Last night down at Bramall Lane Sheffield United were in action against Brentford where they drew 2-25. There was some not so pleasant behaviour. 3 red cards and  9 yellow cards were shown through the match!

The Blades are now in 4th position with a game in hand of the other top 6 clubs.

Leeds and Birmingham both won 1-0 last night. Birmingham making sure that Bristol City were relegated..

Leeds are standing in 11th position in the league table with Birmingham below them in 12th place. not good BUT not bad wither. You get my drift.

Well I have little to report today ( actually I have lots but it would turn into a rant so will hold it back. Just to say if you ever decide to rent out your house in the North East of Blight do not use a company which sounds similar to 'adVENTURE').

So with that I am off to super swanky Lady Lainey office to keep up on Twitter with what is going on with the Tykes.

Hope you have been doing lots of DIY Dame Didi.
