THIS week was the 4th anniversary of the wonderful opening ceremony for the London Olympics and I felt really sad. I don’t want to pass it on to Rio if I’m honest. The Games were so good when they were here, everyone got behind it and got totally excited by them. I feel all emotional that they won’t be ours anymore and that the baton will be passed on to Brazil - it’s probably like when I had to hand my Hamble Hockey trophy back after I’d held the award for most improved player for a year.

Oh no, at the tender age of three and a half my little girl is Americanised. After singing along in the car to 'A Whole New World' (I was Aladdin, she was princess Jasmine, of course) and being told to stop a few times cos I was booming out the wrong bit. We had a 'high five' and she announced "good job dude!" Eh? DUDE?!! Who says dude apart from Bill and Ted?? So I'll add that to "super cute" "Santa" (it's Father Christmas, thank you) and "bathing suit like Barbie" (no it's a swimming costume). My head is in my hands and there's to be no YouTube for the rest of her life!
