Wow it is times for all things Flora with the Chelsea Flower show in full bloom, and it is also marking it;s 100 anniversary..............as is the Tour de France so to celebrate both a beautiful garden has been designed entitled Le Jardin de Yorkshire. As the tour is to start in Leeds next year this is both very apt and for any flower loving Tyke a great honour. Well worth a visit . Vive le Yorkshire!
Well news filtering through is that KP may not be ready for the Ashes, funny thing is Job the Jolly and I were discussing this yesterday ( tres spooky) and I was saying with the wealth of Tyke talent in the England team at the moment I doubt that he will get a place. Funny thing is we all know that fit or not the selectors would name him ( well he needs to boost his bank balance) and really the 'young' team are showing their worth and NOT one of them should be sidelined to make way for the over inflated ego that is 'FIGJAM'. Leave him out and lets see how we get on.
I have read on various sites 'hacks reports on this and to be honest, some say England need him ( obviously we don't ), some say he will be back and some don;t make comment! make of that what you will.
Controversial!!! Matthew Hayden has been reported as saying that Australia can beat England in the Ashes despite being the series underdogs ( actually as you will know I have been writing this for a while ). The funny thing is that KP or no KP I think that the Australians may pull a rabbit out of the hat.
And talking about Australia, there have been some coins found which could blow the whole 'Yorkshire boy lands on new continent' theory. Yes coins of Arabic descent dating back to 900AD have been found in Northern Australia. History shows that Dutch explorers landed in 1606 and then Captain James Cook in 1770 ( obviously no work around Middlesbrough then either!). Very interesting and could rewrite the history books.
Good news on the home front, after a fraught day yesterday, Dame Didi let me know that youngest monster child nephew has not broken his leg/ankle/toe/knee or anything else that they suspected and it is in fact a sprain. I bet she wishes he had sprained his jawbone #onlykidding
OK off to work now and it is raining quelle surprise!!!
