I think I’d prefer the Gregorian chant too. Though it’s unlikely I’ll ever be in labour. But in these days of trans this that and the other, who knows. I’m an agnostic on most issues these days. All (A)theisms are equally unlikely. But I do love cricket.

I will investigate the book, thank you. Do listen to Roy Harper’s song — it’s a hymn to all things cricket, to all that melancholic beauty, listen for where the brass band comes in, Makes me cry.
