2012 Review : August

The London 2012 Olympics began in late July but the main event was in August. I headed down to London to watch volleyball at Earl's Court and badminton at Wembley Arena. My whole Olympics experience was brilliant and i am so glad i went to see some stuff. The organisers and helpers did us proud. I also took some other photos in London along the canal at Little Venice and along the Thames. The rest of the month included  to Stratford-upon-Avon too (as opposed to Stratford, London where i had been the week before) and had a walk along the Avon.

At the end of the month came our second holiday of the year, this time to Aberystwyth. Its probably been about 30 years since i've been to Wales and i really enjoyed our few days at the seaside. We travelled on the Vale of Rheidol Railway up into the Welsh hills and had a great time exploring Aberystwyth.

All that travelling meant that model building was a bit slack but i did complete a Bristol Beaufighter. Song of the month was "Lay baby lay" by Jackie DeShannon.
