Hello from Chester le Street! Day one of round four today, and although there’s a fine mist in the air here, they’re confident of play with just a few interruptions. No swamp to be seen either, just a groundsman with a wheelbarrow pushing things around. I’m off to find a cup of coffee to wrap my chilblains around – back shortly.
