We used to live in Scotland and still have friends there, so when the tickets for the Commonwealth games went on sale a couple of years ago, we applied to get some. So in the last week of July (and the first week of the summer holidays) we took an 8-hour train trip up to Scotland! We stayed with some very kind friends, and saw athletics, netball and diving.

The diving was really impressive, and the kids enjoyed the netball most, which was very exciting, but for me the best was the athletics. There was just so much to see, always something going on, and I saw so many athletes who I recognise and admire. This was our first time seeing athletics, but I hope I can go to more in the future!

It sounds great. I love that you posted. I have missed you but I haven't been posting as much either.
ReplyDeleteThat is so cool you guys got to go! We saw some of the coverage on TV, I think the athletics would be really cool to see, too.
ReplyDeleteThat would be really cool to see, what a special day. I love "Clyde" and that pool is super impressive. I laugh when I think back to the days I swam in college and our little 5 lane pool. Ha.
