Re: Spring Photographs 2023

I'm struggling to post pics on the site. Is there a limit on the file size? I've been using a Google Pixel 6 as my camera and after editing the file size seems to be fairly big. When I try to attach the pics I get an error message.

Any help would be much appreciated

Re: Lancashire League Cricket

Catches stuck today and the bowling was tight after Prestwich got off to a flyer. Their Pro was motoring at 49-1 and it seemed like we would be chasing another big total. Pro went and the rest capitulated with Joe Hawke picking up a well deserved 5 wickets. As expected, the home side knocked them of...

House were short in the bowling department and the fielding was well below par. Darwens opener scored 111 and was dropped 4 times. Chasing 226 seemed a h...

Tara in the Grove is still good.
