Upstream

A stroll along my new home, as I am moving house this week...lots to explore, lots to discover...

Orbit

I guess you are a lucky person if you have the chance to see the Olympics live. I totally enjoyed the evening at the Olympic stadium with a few friends, watching lots of new world records, gold medals and some very impressive athletics.

Here it is Mo Farah winning gold for Team GB over 5k, and he still is looking fairly relaxed. Also saw the amazing Usain Bolt, fastest man on the planet over 100 meters, and he truly is spectacular.

Talking about spectacular, I really like the 115m high Orbit sculpture in the Olympic Park.

Chelsea Physic Garden

In case you needed a little secret hideout I can recommend the Chelsea Physic Garden. Spent a few hours there, truly lovely. It's London's oldest botanic garden, founded in1673.

Some of the flowers and leaves are both edible and decorative. Some gardeners appear to grow them in order to attract pollinating insects such as bees, others may find use in cosmetics and soaps. Some even feature anti-inflammatory and anti-viral properties.
