The competition has now closed to entries so we must await voting and a result.  In view of this I have taken all the comments off the website, and we must wait and see what the public decide !

At least two local people are heading for Beijing, and I am sure there are more I do not know about.

Wendy is there already with the Torch bearers. Wendy and her assistance dog Caesar were chosen to be one of the special people to carry the torch through London, although that performance became more controversial than anyone had anticipated. Wendy was invited to Beijing to watch the end of the journey there. She decided not to take Caesar with her to China, they eat dogs in China ! So Caesar is safely in Dorset and Wendy is apart from him for the first time in 7 years.

Julia is off at the end of the week to join the Sailing team. She will be crewing in a pace boat, helping to tune the team boats and as a reserve for the team. At the moment the biggest challenges seem to be monster seaweed and pollution so bad that they cannot see where they are going !

They are both having an experience of a lifetime and will have a lot to tell us on their return !!
