well done Wendy, one hundred is a great milestone. Keep going, you've found a lovely rhythm. xx
Yes I can hear the roar as you humbly nod to the crowd, lifting your bat up, with a little smile on the lips - then tap tap the ground and refocus....hehe - love the cricket analogy!
I keep walking past a shop window and thinking of you! You know where I mean!!
Keep the great posts coming - and how long have you had your eye on those jars??
love brons analogy :)i too read every post, just some days too weary to comment :) keep up the awesome work.
p.s. love those jars, so would mr D !!
I can't believe at 99 you just didn't post a pic - I think I might have!!
Simply smashing century (said with a Tony Greig Accent!!), well done to you - raise that bat high.
Love the jars - can't wait to see them on display.
