Tracey and Gwyn met Alex and the friendly crowd at Monday Mates. We had a slow start because one of the participants had a flat tyre which took some arranging to sort. Additional excitement was a visit by a cyclist cycling between all the county cricket grounds for charity. He'd started in Chester-le-Street! There was an opportunity to watch cricket practice on a hot summery day. We all had a great morning, despite a rumoured cake not appearing.
