I took a couple of days off this week to visit the Olympic Rowing events
at Eton Dorney with my daughter and a couple of her rowing friends. We
decided to dress for the occasion and certainly attracted a lot of
attention! Everyone was so friendly and helpful and all the arrangements
ran like clockwork. Standing almost at the waters edge there was a
fantastic atmosphere and everyone cheered on all the competitors,
although we may have cheered a little louder for the home crews! We were
lucky enough to see the lightweight fours win Silver in a closely
contested race that could have gone 3 ways! Such a fabulous experience
that I will never forget! Wenlock is particularly special to us all in
Shropshire as he is named after the birthplace of the modern Olympic
Games – Much Wenlock!
