On your marks get set for the Olympics in London.

Are you ready on your marks, yes the Olympic count down is on it's way. My sister lives in London and to be honest I think for her she will be glad to see the end of it. To all of us away from London it is a thrill to see the olympics in your home country, but for those living there I am sure it is a nightmare.
But lets be honest it's brill to see your country win a gold.
So my question to you are you getting ready doing those laps around the couch making sure that you have enough tea in the cupboard.
Because in a few days yes it will on your marks get set go..... London Olympics will be here.
So like Father Christmas get checking your list not once but twice you don't want to miss this years Olympic games in London.Get the tea and cakes in the pantry, food in the fridge and you are set to watch an Olympic games like no other.

Little boys torch dream.

I have heard of many children making Olympic torches at school in England and many relay races been done. Torches been sold for charity by the runners who have had the privilege of running with the Olympic torch across England's green and pleasant lands. But one little boy made his torch and decided why not sell it and raise money for charity and help children less fortunate than him.
Here below is his link from the BBC if you can help this little chap raise money please do. This little boy has won gold in my eyes.Go Logan.

Mum who loves to doodle.

I came across this today and I so love this mum. Angie Stevens has a blog called http://doodlemum.com/me/ she is a mum who lives in Wales and has recorded her children's lives by doodling a picture every day. For me I love how she has captured a British mum and her life. How she is so true to just been normal, life is not always how we expect. I truly encourage you to join her blog and check it out. She is an inspiration of how we should do something to capture our children growing up it might be in a drawing or in a story, something to leave behind for them.
Thanks Angie for inspiring me.

The Olympic rings 2012

Today Tower bridge, my most loved Bridge was changed. It too joined in with the celebrations to mark the Olympics been in London. To me I use to love driving over Tower Bridge, no doubt if I did that today I would be holding back tears. Many Brits would call me un British to be crying about such a trivial thing. But for a woman who misses England as much as I do. It touches my heart to see so many people in England joining in with the build up to the Olympics. If you live in England or are traveling there this summer. Do not take for granted this moment in time it is history in the making. My mum remembers the last Olympics she was on the beach in Dover with her mother seeing the torch been run up that beach, white cliffs in the background. So i think for me it is only fitting that the Olympic rings are held across such a bridge that this year has seen the Diamond Jubilee and now welcomes the world to be a part of history at the 2012 London Olympics.

Olympic torch brightens a fair maidens day.

Well from Kate and William practicing for the javelin team to a getting ready for the high jumps and sprints on the bouncy Stonehenge us Brits are preparing for an Olympic like no other. But today a young man had another intent as he ran with the Olympic torch in one hand he stopped and asked for his fair maidens hand in marriage. Decked in a very patriotic dress his girlfriend accepted.

It's wonderful to see how the best in us Brits comes out for such occasions from the Jubilee to the Olympics the British spirit just pours out. It make one proud to be British.
So get ready for a summer like no other and if you are in England take the time to enjoy the celebrations get involved be a part of history.

The Olympics in England brings out the Olympian in even a Princess

As we head into the Olympics. I had to chuckle when I saw this picture of Kate (Middleton) this week throwing a foam javelin in Nottingham. When I saw Stonehenge made into a bouncy arena it just cries out to me,that us Brits know how to have a good laugh and bring out the kid in us. You can see that mischievous face of Kate that brings us back to our childhood. So if you believe Brits our stuffy then think again. We have our traditions and we have are fun you tell me a country that has our wonderful Kate throwing a javelin or a bouncy arena of a famous place. So hold on tight this summer is going to be like no other. Who knows maybe they will allow Kate and William to have their own competition of foam javelin throwing at the Olympics this summer. Perhaps they practice after tea in their garden? The question is which one of them would win the gold?

Trendsetters

Vintage clothes have been setting the stage lately. Princess Eugene and Princess Beatrice wore 1950s style hats this past few days of the Diamond Jubilee celebrations. From their hats to their clothes, they were adorned by past styles seeping into today's attires. Not only the royals, but One Direction has been displaying classic styles too. From suspenders to vests and bow ties, they have been setting not only stages to perform but also the "in" clothing line of the 1950s. With new styles coming and going, do not forget to make your own style. Whether it be with bright colored clothes to add a bit of pop, like some of One Direction's clothes, to Veteran like hats to vintage handbags and gloves. Don't forget a set of pearls. You can make your own style, a classic to be remembered. Being you is the new in. Em
