I am Stephen. I live in Bristol, UK. I decided to shorten my profile...to this: Wildlife, haiku, travel, streetart, psychogeography and my family. Not necessarily in that order.

Talking of which I just might have some good news . . .
Now you have me singing cricket calypso to myself … Cricket lovely cricket, at Lord’s I first saw it, with those two pals of mine Ramadin and Valentine
Here’s a bit of history: My dad was an umpire at the Gloucester County Cricket ground for a couple of years. Ken and Tom Graveney two brothers who played for Gloucester owned and operated a catering business. I worked for them as 2nd Chef in the Bristol Council House Cafeteria for about a year after returning from France where I trained as a Commis de Cuisine.
My dad was a great story-teller and I loved to listen as he talked about W.G. Grace hitting a ball for six which hit the pavilion clock. Memories!

This Ashes series promises to be a classic. England are beginning to look competitive for the first time in years.
