@lewisgoodall.com thank you for the report from Scunthorpe. I was born and bred there, Dad was a steelworker. I did my first work experience on the furnaces. I’m in tears listening. Thank you for listening and reporting #SaveOurSteel

I've been moonlighting as a gamekeeper.

I finally sit down for a one on one with gamekeeper Glenn Massacre (@mrhenrymorris.bsky.social) and it gets HEATED !

We discuss what constitutes 'vermin' and how he ALWAYS follows the letter of the law .

Happy St.Cuthbert’s Day everyone. The northern saint died on Inner Farne, Farne Islands on this day in 687. During his life it was believed that he offered protection to nesting Eider ducks on the islands, the first protection they’d received.

My mother was most amused that when we got home the daughter had a heat pad on her shoulder, i had an ice pack on my bruised knee and the husband had an ice pack on his ankle. Play cricket, they said, it’s fun and keeps you healthy 🙄

Yes me and her dad managed about 2 overs of very slow spin and both decided that was enough 😆

Wow. I think it’s much better now. It was just an indoor game but by far the longest and most lethal (for batters) spell she’s ever done. Two overs then break. Four overs max from now on. For her and all my u11s including practice

budhaig.bsky.social @budhaig.bsky.social · Mar 10

Yeah she’s in Northumberland so it is a bit on the slopey side 😆

budhaig.bsky.social @budhaig.bsky.social · Mar 10

Thank you - hope she’s still enjoying her cricket ❤️

budhaig.bsky.social @budhaig.bsky.social · Mar 10

Looking for how to manage that sweet spot of properly competitive and not injuring herself. As a half arsed inconsistent leg spinner this is not my wheelhouse

budhaig.bsky.social @budhaig.bsky.social · Mar 9

My goodness my daughter (11) absolutely smashed it bowling pace at adult men and women and older boys tonight. The extra competition made her better. Now she’s knackered and sore. Advice, #cricket please @wgrumblepants.bsky.social

I came across a lady in a public loo this week who was an absolute mess. Covid killed all her close family. She was alone and angry and sad. It was a public health disaster that will last a generation www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

Should’ve boycotted that and at least taken a moral victory. Shocking
