With the Aussies playing a warm-up match just down the road in Hove the start of the Ashes is getting closer.
And today, for me at least, it got a little more real.
My Ashes ticket arrived in the post!
I can’t tell you how excited I am.
I’ve got a feeling we’ve got one helluva summer of cricket coming.

This is where you'll find everything you need to know about me and my books.
Pete, you might want to blur a few details out, otherwise there could be someone else sitting in your seat!
Good point. Sally reckons I’m way too trusting. I don’t even think of those kinds of things. Seat number etc now duly blurred!
Seventy effing quid?!
Please tell me that’s for all five days…
