Connie is my hero

It only took 6 months, but we finally arranged to meet Connie, so I could get my grubby mitts on the Olympic Torch. She and her daughter Pamela and her friend Pauline came to Nan's in the morning.

Connie Adam has won many many medals at veteran world and commonwealth championships for fencing. She is 80 something and still travels the world. Shamefully, at her expense, which rules out some trips.

Hopefully recent publicity and becoming a something (holder of keys??) of Norwich will help her get some sponsorship for competitions.

Connie is my hero... and very very kind for letting us all play.. oh, and she has bionic knees and very cool scars!

 I see no ships!

Unfortunately it all went to my head when we started whistling the Chariots of Fire Theme!!!

I really wish I'd have tied up my trainers, and tried to look slightly less stupid! Ah well! .. they were right.. it did make my day.

Thanks Connie. Just be thankful she didn't bring her swords too!
