Visiting @SomersetCCC for the first time in 7 years a lot has changed. What hasn't is the friendliness of staff and supporters. Folk smiled at me ,said hello, stewards engaged in pleasantries. Even @GMH1962 said hello. The CEO's at my work haven't done that ever. in 25 years.

Happy Mothers Day to my amazing Mum. She's been through a lot these past few months. The hope of getting back to London Road spurs her on. As does the kindness of people associated with the club. No names, you know who you are.

Another picture of London Road from 1963. In those days you could walk to the Moys End via the Glebe and vice versa. Although in one game v Doncaster their fans didn't bother. They took the shortest route. Across the pitch.
