yes jen and i have been married for 25 years today :)
i'll spare you the photos
[in case you were wondering the RGB for silver is 133, 136, 139 which is the colour of the letters here!]
i'm guessing the title of the post might have got some of you thinking i was blogging about the olympics and victoria pendleton but i wasn't .... but i might as well add in a WOW to teamGB's incredible cycling performances in the olympics now i have started thinking along these lines.
i have been glued to the cycling. after the road race and time trial the velodrome has been incredible - love the venue, love the sport, love teamGB, love the kit, love the ministry of marginal gains, love the giggling laura trott, the tearful fragile lightning quick victoria, the quietly brilliant jason kenny - to be honest all of them and the coaches and the commentary team! i suspect the rest of the world want to knock teamGB off their considerable perch right now and so they should... i honestly can't believe the medal haul.
yesterday though big congrats to anna meares who got her tactics spot on to psych out victoria with the mind games and physicality and i hope australia went nuts about it - she is a great cyclist and it meant a lot to her - that was obvious... though proud of victoria bowing out as the greatest woman track cyclist ever surely. chris hoy's ride was just awesome to finish things off. what am i going to do tonight now the cycling is over? oh yes i've got an anniversary to celebrate ;)
wohoo!

I think we'd love to see the photos... and congratulations to you both! what a lovely thing to celebrate.
And the cycling was extraordinary. We did indeed celebrate well here. Anna broke her neck a couple of years ago - I can't begin to imagine what it would take to come back from that, psychologically as much as physically. And your Victoria was simply amazing.

A bit late, but congratulations to you both!
With you all the way on the cycling. I never thought of myself as interested in sport, but the last few weeks have proved me completely wrong...
Cheers,
Mark
