Good Morning Blog Friends!
No card today, but I wanted to share with you the wonderful day Tom and I had yesterday, when we drove over to Bath to welcome home our Olympians and Paralympians who train at Bath University and make up, not only Team GB, but also Team Bath. Just like they had done in London a few days ago, they were all back for a parade via open top bus through the city and a Civic reception.
I managed to exchange a few words with paralympians Steph Millward (who was truly weighed down by her medals!) and Ben Rushgrove. It was quite humbling to be able to congratulate them in person, shake their hands and be able to hold their medals, which are really heavy. What a great day!
Hope you like the photos!

What a wonderful homecoming for these fabulous athletes. And it must be great to have been part of it Carole!. It has been a wonderful year for our British athlets, and it is still ongoing with the cycling Tour of Britain taking place right now. Christine x
ReplyDeleteMorning Carole, thank you for sharing your photos of yesterdays welcome home celebrations for the Olympians and Paralympians. Both games were brilliant and Britain certainly did a fantastic job staging these two wonderful games.
ReplyDeleteWe are so very proud of all our athletes. Continue to enjoy your holiday, Christine H xx
Lovely pics Carole - I get all teary watching them on the tv so I would have been blubbing profusely if I have been in your shoes!!! Jonnie Peacock comes from Lowdham just down the road from us - so I was really cheering for him - very loudly. He's just like a tornado!
ReplyDeleteHave more fun today. Sue Pxx
Hi Carole,
ReplyDeletewonderful photos, thank you for sharing them with us. Yes didn't our athletes do well this year. Brings a limp in my throat just thinking of all the dedication to obtain their goal, or should I say Gold Silver and Bronze. Hip, HIP, Hooray to all of them.
Have a wonderful crafty afternoon and evening everyone.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
