August 12th was a day of celebration! Successful London Olympics and great closing ceremony. I loved the Olympic cauldron with the 204 petals. It was a beautiful, original and imaginative design by Thomas Heatherwick and a feat of engineering and workmanship. After the brilliant opening ceremony with the flaming petals rising together into a united cauldron we waited in anticipation of how it would unfold and die. A shame it will be dismantled - but with the individual petals going back to the competing nations it will have another life.
Our own little celebration - we picked our first ripe Big Boy tomato and had it for lunch. It weighed 11oz. I noted from our "sow and harvest" logbook that last year our first crop was on 13 August so fairly consistent there.
