Of august, but nothing particularly outstanding, im afraid. In fact, today summarises it quite nicely. We have seen some breaks in The Cloud out to the west, a lot of cloud generally elsewhere and some Nuisance Showers from a Weather Front thats drifting its way steadily south and east.

Im going to go on now and change colour and im just over the moon. I cant really put into words what it means to me. Weve got a great team behind us, gb boxing. Everyone is doing amazingly well. I think that is the fourth medal now as well for us. Finally a special part of any olympicjourney, is when you finally arrive home to be greeted by your loved ones. And if there were gold medals for hugs, theyd surely go to Helen Glovers three little ones. The two time Olympic Champion was rowing at her final olympics and although she narrowly missed out on a medal, her remarkable comeback to get to tokyo has been inspirational and, at The End of it all, theres no place like home.
