Cricket has played a huge part of his summer which for me has been special to watch. We were all young once and this summers memories will be with him for ever..

It is all about family life and with my daughter Pandora getting married to James Lovett in just over 3 weeks time, and my owners open day the weekend before September is going to be a busy month.

When they got to Customs, she let the priest go first.

'I have a marvelous instrument designed to be used on a woman, but which is, to date, unused.'

Roaring with laughter, the official said, 'Go ahead, Father. Next please!'
