July was a busy month for various reasons, one of the the Olympics, although I decided against getting accreditation to photograph that – not really my kind of thing. I’d intended to take a holiday at the end of the month, but somehow that didn’t happen. It didn’t help that I wasn’t sure if Linda would get her passport renewed in time, but she did, then decided to go to Sheffield for which I don’t think she needed it. Though my son and his family took theirs to go to Eton Dorney, as ID was needed to watch the Olympic canoeing. The security there was all carried out by soldiers and they say it was very relaxed, and they enjoyed the sport.<\/p>\n

As a cyclist, I’m pleased that cyclists, particularly Mr Wiggins, has done well – even if is is ill-informed about helmets and making cyclists wear them would result in more deaths, not less, though they are probably good for kids who fall off their bikes at low speed. I would have liked to have been there on the Champs Elys\u00e9e when he won the Tour de France, rather more of an event than anything in the Olympics. But more people on bikes will mean – at least in the longer term – safer roads, and also healthier people who live longer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
