Chelmsford

A practice session had been organised at the Essex Cricket Ground on the day after we arrived in England so we set off in the coach to Chelmsford after lunch.

We were welcomed to the ground and then had a chance to view the oval.

The players then went to the indoor nets for their practice session.

I then set out to explore Chelmsford.

Walking through the back of the cricket ground you come to the River Can. Central Park is on the other side of the river.

It was market day.

An arcade in Chelmsford.

The Slug and Lettuce - one of a chain of pubs in England - on the River Chelmer.

And like all good cities there is a public library.
