Things have been very quiet on here, I do apologise!
But I have been somewhat distracted by the amazing pictures from the London Olympics. I've mainly been watching the equestrian events and these have been interspersed with athletics, tennis, rowing and hockey. I am a hockey player so feel I should be watching that! I have been blown away by the success of Great Britain in everything but especially the equestrian events. Golds in the team Show Jumping and Dressage are outstanding achievements for a nation that traditionally has never been classed as one of the big guns in these events. Moment of beaming pride now over!
The pic is of Zara Phillips (not taken by me!) knocking a pole during the 3-day-event. I just love the jump, hoping at some point to re-create it so I've added it to my long list of projects.
It has taken me twice as long as it should to watch the cross country and show jumping because I had to keep pausing the TV and take a picture of each jump! I've found more of the cross country ones online than show jumping, but I have so many ideas now!
ReplyDeleteI've just managed to find some in scale post boxes too, unfortunately one of them arrived broken so I'll have to see if I can fix it. Maybe that can be the subject of another blog post!
