A London photo every day. Some pictures will be there for their own sake, some because they are places you may like to see, all because they are part of what makes London what it is. Requests welcome!

Flying the Flag
On the day Team GB exceeded their medal total four years ago and proved the value of investment in sport, I reflect on the way it feels good when your country wins. Whatever the payload of jingoism, let's just enjoy the moment while we can.
God bless Abrahams and Liddell, even yet.
ReplyDeleteOr in my own country, I remember the University of Washington Husky Crew who beat the pride of Nazy Germany in 1936.
ReplyDeleteI congratulate all the smaller, less well funded countries, simply for taking part. More important than winning any medals ;-)
ReplyDeleteYes, be a sport. If you lose, there still next times to do better and raise the flag as champions.
