But the British love their sports. Football (soccer) first of all. Rugby and cricket not far behind.
This picture is of a group of children playing after school on the grounds of Kensington Palace. Not a shabby location for a practice field!
When we were in Bath we came upon the British Olympians who were being honored with a parade and reception. One of the training facilities is at the University of Bath. This photo is of the excited crowd gathered to catch a glimpse of their heroes.
By sheer luck we happened to be inside the museum where the reception was to be held before the lock-down. So, we were able to watch the team enter, much to the envy of the crowd outside. They were unrecognizable to us but you could tell by the smiles and the applause and the paparazzi all around that this was something huge. Here are a couple of the honorees as they passed our way.
The British team did very well in the Summer Olympics and hosting the games in such a wonderful manner gave a tremendous boost to the nation's morale. Spirits were high!
