I can’t speak for anyone else, but I witnessed the climax to Jessica’s wondrous gold-winning Olympic performance, in the company of several dozen other noisy and enthusiastic souls, in this free showing at the Royal Festival Hall this evening…and what a way it was to win a gold medal…or three ;).
An evening indoors…so, just a couple of household paintings, and some televisual Olympics…
Red flowers in a bowl…
