Olympics - what a surprise
I have to admit that I was one of those moaning cynical lot being all gloom and doom ahead of the London Olympics, how we'd look like bafoons compared to the slickness of Beijin's opening ceremony and so on.
I was wrong. Quirky Britishness was the way to go. No need to compete on numbers.
The action has been red hot as well. The cycling, sailing, and rowing, then the gymnastics and the tennis. All go and the human side of the athletes, the tears and the joy is all very touching. The middle weekend was exhausting just watching.
Roll on this next week and fingers crossed for even more gold medals.
Hooray.
We recently spent just over two weeks in the Far East taking in both Hong Kong and Vietnam. Very much family orientated and really getting back to our "roots". We went back to my mother's island close to the Chinese mainland and we also went to Angela's home village in North Vietnam.
