The Buxey Ashes ...



Jay's reading an essay about Thomas Gresham - 

Frm time to time, he glances up to watch the tennis - 

We're both wearing shorts  

Murray's playing Klizan - 

Earlier, Jay told me how he'd watched a cricket match on a sandbank in the Thames - 

I pictured the yachts moored around the temporary island, the ball sent spinning over the ridged sand - 

The winners of the Buxey Ashes celebrated with Buxey Ale

 The yachts sailed homewards up the wide river - 

The sea forts were like ancient spaceships fallen from the sky -
