London - Olympics

Yesterday I spent the day in London with a friend, we didn't have tickets to anything but had an amazing time and met some lovely people, including American figure skating coaches and two Croatian Silver medal winning rowers! What struck us was how friendly everyone was and even though everywhere was packed there was such a feel good factor!

The Olympic Torch Barnsley 2012

We were fortunate today to go and witness the Olympic Torch pass through Barnsley. What a historic occasion! A wonderful atmosphere and thanks to Ed Staton for organising this.

The future

After 30 years of teaching - a whole range of subjects - but mainly a whole range of personalities -a great deal of soul searching and many conversations with my long suffering but very supportive husband - I've decided that next year is the one where I go freelance!
My work will be a range of photography (already have several wedding bookings and a regular studio slot) and education - thanks to the ever enthusiastic role model @hywel_roberts!
I'm excited and scared in equal measures. I have ideas for books, designs for cards....a buzz in my head but most of all I have crossed fingers. Here's to 2012. Your advice and suggestions would be most welcome!
