Guess your awards are in the same place as my "End of Season Reports" - i.e. up in the air/in draft etc !

Thanks for your mention of Wheres The Tea Hut. It was a difficult season for me in some ways and I didn't get to as many games as I'd hoped to. Irrespective of your kind award (I've not had anything delivered yet by the way, is it a bottle?) I still reckon I'm miles behind the standard and consistent quality of your excellent blog (which is by far the market leader).
