Perhaps I prefer flowers over cricketers?

Pottering around the Shipley ground has always provided me with a great deal of pleasure. Whether it be a tree planting scheme or attractive borders my belief has always been that a cricket ground must  be more than a wicket and outfield.

The trees around the ground are mostly well matured  and some I planted as saplings have certainly sprung up
