Graeme Swann has just been awarded the England Cricketer of the Year Award having taken 99 wickets in 45 games for his country this year as well as helping us to bring the Ashes home last summer. He is rated 3rd in the rankings of Test bowlers and 4th in the rankings of best all-rounders, well done Swanny!
This week 6 cygnets have hatched on the Christleton pond and I was lucky to be able to see and photograph them as they usually make their way to the canal within about a week of hatching.
How fitting then that after weeks of nesting in the clubhouse container, our cricket club swan has now gone up, giving the final touch to our scoreboard.
It was a joint effort with Spen arranging for the stainless steel shape to be cut up in the North East,
... it was then sprayed with car paint by our 2nd team skipper.
It needed a beak and an eye so I painted those
and (Oh what a small world)one of my aerobics girls' boyfriend put it up!
Good team work folks, it looks good doesn't it?

Excellent post, Ali! You were lucky to see those signets so early. That swan-sign looks great too.. (just had a happy time catching up with a few of your posts).
