Swaffham Bulbeck

Swaffham Bulbeck is a small Cambridgeshire village, about five minutes away from our home in Burwell and yesterday our son, Sam, played his last 'home' match of the season there for Burwell Tigers. It was a close game against Great Paxton who went into a 2.0 lead, but Tigers came back to win a thriller 3.2 with just two minutes remaining.

They play on the village green at Swaffham Bulbeck, which is an idyllic setting in which to play football, though the ball does keep running off the side of the green and over the road, necessitating frequent halts in the road traffic - something even Premiership players can't claim when their shots go wide!

For a long time I've thought about putting together some pages on Cambridgeshire and other parts of East Anglia that I've visited or which mean something to me. I saw it as a kind of personal map in words and pictures. I've put the first page together this morning, featuring Swaffham Bulbeck.

I've also loaded a different image of St Mary's church on my photoblog
