Merry Christmas Everyone!
22 December 2014

Ducky and Lewis are in fine spirits for my Christmas party!
Messrs Duckworth and Lewis wish to convey their festive greetings to fellow-enthusiasts of Cricket Pop everywhere. This year Grandfather DLM HQ takes to the interwebs for a festive message.
Dearest Cricket Poppers,
It's that time of the year where we spruce up the old clubhouse with garlands of sparkling tinsel, beautiful baubels and a tree freshly acquired from the local park.
The candles are burning brightly, the dog is asleep in front of a crackling fire, and the smell of mincepies are spreading their aromatic wings to the heavens whilst coating the rafters with their scented joy!
We have a turkey sourced locally (thanks to Mr Jenkins and his poaching skills), a magnificent array of vegetables (thanks again Mr Jenkins) plus a cabinet full of wines, beers and spirits which should last us to Boxing day - Hurrah!
I am feeling very pleased with myself this year as I have purchased the best present ever for my great granddaughter Beyonce. She asked me for a barbie, and after two-long hours making my way through B&Q, I have ordered a magnificent four burner which will be put to good use in the cricketing season. My tastebuds are salivating at the thought of a nice rare, succulent steak. I never had anything like that when I was seven, Beyonce is such a lucky girl!
Yours in festive spirits**
