“Top o’ the mornin’ to ya Tanya!” Hello Tim Maitland.
”I’ve finally settled on my retirement home: the place where I can happily continue to revert towards the drooling, incoherent, free-defecating mess that I was when I entered this world. However, I might need your help pooling the immense mental resources that exist BTL on this blog to complete the purchase, because it’s currently occupied by the Northamptonshire Supporter’s Club.
”I’m sure they can be rehomed, given the right incentives, because, if there’s nothing two nightmare spells of Trumpism has taught me, it’s that everything is for sale. Besides a bijou, half-timbered, mock Tudor residence that would allow me to literally roll out of bed at 10-55 to the sound of leather on second division willow is too good to miss out on, isn’t it? The lovely wife (American) is more than happy to use the ground floor on matchdays to offer succour to spectators, indeed she’d like your opinion on whether cricket fans would stump up for US-style, still lemonade (I told her they will if you lace it with enough vodka) and homemade gelatos.
She might need to stock up on the odd sausage roll and scotch egg too, don’t you think? Besides all that, does anyone know what the going rate would be for the finest building in first class cricket?”
Tim, unfortunately I can’t attach your photo, but I would very happily drink still lemonade with ice and perhaps a cinnamon bun for elevenses?
