The young man plays cricket. Sometimes, they call him up to play with the big boys of the senior team. He still likes us to go and watch him, and I still enjoy being there to see him take a catch etc, but it can be an endurance test when I have to go on my own when hubby is working.
Sitting in a field in all weathers from noon until around 7.30pm on my own, requires a survival kit. This week I took:
Large flask, a magazine, a book, embroidery, suncream, lipsalve, a sun top, a fleecey top, a padded coat, combat trousers that could be rolled up - or down, kagoul, umberella, snacks, chair, blanket, sunglasses, "readers" and thick padded coat.

I only ever used to go to watch Notts when it was decent weather. You can be there for hours can't you??? :O)
I'm intrigued about that embroidery you've got stuffed in your 'survival' bag!!!!

Survival, eh?!..next time I would suggest you to take with you also your laptop! Or do you have an i-phone?! :)

You'd make a marvellous boy scout .... all prepared and all that! Sensible gal ..... I'd need lots of caffiene to keep me awake x
Thats Britain for you!

I can well believe that you used it all - it sounds a really good survival kit too. DH watches cricket in all weathers but I prefer it with a bit of sun on my back:)
All clothing needed for a bank holiday weekend! I do enjoy a good cricket match.

Great survival kit! Another of your posts to bring back memories for me. My step-dad used to play cricket and most summer Saturday afternoons were spent around a cricket pitch - Dad on the field and Mum helping with the teas! If there was no cricket to be played a car ride to Edwinstowe or Clumber Park would find one to sit and watch - at least Mum and I could have a wander round to relieve the boredom:)
Excellent survival kit.
Love cricket, used to score for some matches in local Infirmary league.
So sad, the controversy over "match fixing" this weekend.
