Go Team GB ! London 2012 Olympic Games

During the month of June a package arrived for me from Sue & Paul, our clients for a number of years who have become treasured friends.

With great anticipation I opened my package and inside was a parcel reading 'do not open until Team GB have won their 1st Gold medal'.

With London 2012 Olympic fever in the Beaumont household; London having been my home for 16 years, and having Team GB and Team France to cheer on, my parcel was put in a safe place until Team GB struck Gold.

Yesterday, upon learning Helen Glover & Heather Stanning had won Team GB's 1st Gold medal in the womens rowing pair, at Olypmic speed my parcel was unwrapped.

Thrilled with my Union Jack mug a celebratory cuppa was brewed and it tasted FANTASTIC !!

It wasn't long before the kettle was boiling again after seeing Bradley Wiggins win Gold and Chris Froome win Bronze.

And... with Rebbecca Adlington qualifying with ease. GB's lightweight rowing four winning Silver, and Sir Chris Hoy and Victoria Pendleton to start their campaigns I am quiet sure more cuppa's are on their way.
