11th game of my season, the return meeting of my fourth. This was equally exciting and pacy, perhaps not quite as skilful, but huge credit to Thetford for playing a passing game whilst endeavouring to find an equaliser in the last ten minutes. When it came it was wholly deserved.

Whenever I see Thetford’s stylish midfielder Cameron King, I think of the 2013 FA Youth Cup Final, Norwich v Chelsea: King, now playing in the 9th tier, against Nathan Ake of Man City and Holland. Norwich won 4-2 On aggregate!

1000 miles ridden in 2025; though fewer than I usually manage, a decent tally given that, post-op, I didn’t start until the last week of April. Took advantage of a bright, still afternoon to polish off the last 20 or so, but I admit it was something of a risk to use the aptly-named Wash Lane.

Towards the end of a longish spell in France, we stopped just north of Cavendish City and I noticed on the map a two-star (Michelin) chateau nearby. So I got the bike down and went to take a look. It is apparently a recreation of the Petit Trianon in Versailles.

Inauspicious beginning to my Bluesky residency: an innocuous snow post, now deleted, garners a Like from a bot identifying with full-on Nazi imagery. Didn't expect to be researching reporting procedures so soon....

So in 50 years I never realised that the actual St Benedict’s wasn’t one of the three churches on the street itself; it’s the one pictured, set back from the road at the Grapes Hill end.
