More Olympics July 2012




This weekend on Friday the 27th we went to Mike and Dave's and watched the opening ceremony, then on Saturday the Men's road race came through Parsons Green so we went out and watched it!  We have had quite a busy weekend, on Sunday after church we went to China Town for lunch with the Guptas and Monday night we went with the Howards to the theatre to watch Posh.  The rest of the time  and this week will be a full schedule of staying at home and watching the games - Josh is even getting a few days working from home to watch also - very exciting!

And a bump picture update from Monday.


This weekend we took a long weekend and flew out of London and into Krakow on the Friday morning and picked up our hire car and drove out to Kielce where Ant and Marta where getting married. The wedding was on Saturday. They got married in a local church – I did a reading in the church – the English version as the whole wedding was translated in both English and Polish. We then went back to the hotel we where staying at for the reception. Not only was wine and soft drink on the table but Vodka with these little vodka glasses and each toast was with a shot of vodka. In a Polish wedding it goes all night, so we had 5 courses in total or 5 meals in total spread out from the first one – which was like dinner with soup, meat, dessert, then every 2 hours another meal would come out and in between a buffet of salad, cold meat, cakes etc was all kept supplied. So much food it was unbelievable. The last course was served at 3am, when Josh and I decided to go to bed! On Sunday we left and drove back to Krakow where we spent the night before getting an early flight back to London.
