Last month, as I posted, my best mate passed in a fluke accident.
He was a brilliant cricketer, very unlucky not to play internationally. Left arm spinner and smashed it with the bat.
It's been tough for all and I've missed him every day.
So, with the help of a mate who is a bat maker, Paul 'Aldo' Aldred and Randomhandclaps' indesign skills (ex of this parish) we've made, for the family, a commemorative bat-
Paul is making the bat; my contribution are these- the facepic goes on front of the bat, the other labels are for the back.
it's been a remarkably theraputic excercise for both Aldo and I. If anyone ever is grieving, I really recommend channelling your efforts into something positive like this.
We are all also very open about doing all of this- his life is to be celebarated, not mourned and happy to share these pics.
Here's the pics- and I'll post completed bat pics tomorrow.

Glad to hear you're in touch with randomhandclaps, I really miss having him around.
There's a feint stripe of MCC eggs and bacon colourway on the front too.

I just spent all afternoon with his wife. She's a legend too- what a strong girl.
