@neverstraysfar @millarmind @itvcycling on today’s Tour route, check out the @hungrycyclist Lodge near Mersault, who run food & wine bike tours in Burgundy and the owner is obviously a committed bike tourist!

This instinctively doesn't feel quite right. There is serious financial pressure and challenge in the charitable sector ... but a 50% fall in donations over a 12 month period would create carnage.

What do others think??

It was fantastic to see a number of our OTs return back to #TauntonSchool recently for a cricket match and dinner to remember a loved friend and classmate who passed away nine years ago.

Hear from some of our OT's about their best memories from school in our latest video ⬇️

@dchenderson26 maybe this explains it...

Every year I forget how chippy middle aged people get on A level results day.

@AnnieChave @Broadclyst_CC @nationaltrust @fowlesy89 fancy a switch? I know you love this ground!

[George Cockburn @GeorgeCockburn]

@OutsideCricket And that was another final that England lost: strangled by Australia.

@AnnieChave Short cover looks to be juggling a bat... Or maybe trying to catch a pint. But is the ball below his left knee?

[George Cockburn @GeorgeCockburn]

@OutsideCricket Maybe #isbroadreading...?

@robhedge That'd be interesting. Being digitised it'd be possible to add details of size & value of estates too. Then maybe possible (not by me tbh!) to compare to known sizes/values of estates from other periods using adjustment for inflation, population growth......

[George Cockburn @GeorgeCockburn]

@robhedge does this shed any light for you? I also wondered why so many appeared around southern border counties of E&W... I could only guess: did Henry VII patronise many there, or did growing trade from Glos/Bris area create 'gentry'?

[ISWE @YstadauCymru]

This does not appear to be an accurate reflection of late-17th century Welsh society. I suspect Adams is using a different interpretation of ‘gentry’ to the one in play in Wales (?)

@ThomasWilliamPa 👍👍

That’s a cause I can get behind 👍

@izzywestbury Darren Stevens was in the England academy and squad for 2003 World Cup before Jude Bellingham was born.

[George Cockburn @GeorgeCockburn]

@Erraticscc I've read those match reports that lord, parody and lampoon Wisden and the club stats obviously leave Wisden floundering. Time to pin your colours on the mast! #voteannie

[Being Outside Cricket @OutsideCricket]

Rd1, Game 10 - #WCOCM

@the_topspin vs @AnnieChave

The Editor of Wisden takes on the Editor of @MattersCounty. Lawrence has the historical pedigree but will it be enough to derail the stunning ascent of Annie.

This could be a classic.

Don’t ever count Denis out of this race as there’s still a long way to go.

@bbctms @norcrosscricket Also looking for a middle name for no.2...can the team suggest any Cricketing names that I can sneak past their mother?!

[George Cockburn @GeorgeCockburn]

@bbctms @norcrosscricket on names: our 1st child was born @ time of England's last tour to Sri Lanka...and the 2nd, 2 weeks ago (v grateful for overnight commentary!) By sheer accident, both have a 'place' for their name: Lydia was a kingdom now in Turkey and Jos is in Nigeria

[George Cockburn @GeorgeCockburn]

@OutsideCricket 👍

[George Cockburn @GeorgeCockburn]

@OutsideCricket do you guys know of other similar "outside [insert name of sport here]" feeds or blog sites?
I read a story about another mainstream sport* that reminded me of the need for the 'insiders' to realise the insular nature of their perspective...
*Polygamy, I know...

@robhedge Priscilla! Occasionally the baling out could be used for cooling too...
I remember you scrubbing at her imprint on a Cheam playground using a small wire brush.
