On Friday the 13th, Day 55, the flame went thru Dorset, one of the most magical places in all of England. (If it's not God's Country, it's a nearby suburb!.)
Seriously, who doesn't love Dorset, beautiful any time of the year, rain or shine!

At 10:01 we just passed the Esso service station...

Hello Miami, London Calling: Season's greetings from London 2012 Olympics; David Beckham doesn't BEND, but shoots & scores anyway -blindfolded!


London 2012 video:  Season's greetings from London 2012 Olympic Games, December 21, 2011.  http://youtu.be/u_BR_bIF1HE


The London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games, having been brought up "proper," sent us an informative email today just before lunch that includes salutations and greetings for a new year, along with the cute video above. 
That email, full of new aerial photos of the brand new Olympic Park venues that have been built in East London, can be seen here:

I hasten to add that I have some very sharp and talented friends in the London area who've
been hard-working volunteers from Day One, and I can tell you that they are VERY psyched!
219 days to go until the Summer Olympics of London.
