We are Really the Lucky Ones. 🤸🏻♀
This is our generation which has given a new paradigm to the word “CHANGE”.
Lets Thank Life for Everything we have had…
Surely… We’ll beat out the 2020’s and cross over to the 30’s… Holding each other’s hands … In Fun, Frolic & Fanfare as we’ve always done before.
To those who have departed, we say Thanks for being with us then, & RIP… till we meet again.
With best wishes…
As we have always been. ♂

A NOTE FROM Michael Roberts: ….. and YES, to add, what a SURFEIT of CRICKETING TALENT then in the late 1960s and 1970s … amidst limited opportunities.

Yes, of course. Thanks. But to be born in the ’30’s was somewhat better.
This controversy must be settled. I propose that GERRY PEIRIS should contest CYRIL in a table tennis match.
WITH a ban on Buddy Reid’s presence anywhere near Cyril.
