Martin's hero Freddie with the Urn

Holidays aside, for me the summer signals the start of an altogether more serious season.

You may have noticed from my earlier blogs that I have a passion (or borderline obsession) for the game of cricket.

So I could not write without mentioning England’s astonishing victory against the “convict colony”.

It’s been 2 weeks since England reclaimed the little Ashes urn and, for me, the celebrations are only just getting started. Well done lads!

I was fortunate enough to snaffle some tickets for a lucky CAT mag client and a colleague to the recent Edgbaston Test Match in Birmingham.

It was a fantastic opportunity to entertain a close client, talk some business, enjoy some barmy army banter and also indulge in some (soft) drinks… ha!

I’ve definitely had my fill this summer. Roll on the gloom of the British winter…
