And I’m off to bed — I’ve just walked for about 12 hours…! We are going to the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games tomorrow.

    Oh my goodness, my heart aches.. I want to be there so much! Your photographs give a real sense of age and history, of architecture and colour, of art and craft. In a place like this, my head would be exploding, so much to see, so much to absorb. I imagine the sounds and smells to be equally as wonderful. Mmmmmmmmm, simply wonderful.

    Cheers
