With the Olympics nearly upon us in London, local emotions are as mixed as the weather...
British enthusiasm has to be expressed in muffled tones, in between dour predictions and complaints.
Most of my friends have spent the last week or so getting their bikes Tour de France- level ready, so desperate are they to avoid public transport for the duration of the games. My own Pashley Sonnet has had a bath and got a brand new leather seat.
This short film from the luminous Vivienne Westwood did fill me with some London Pride though. She is transfixing- a deep reminder that intelligence and a sincere love for what you do are so much more attractive than an athlete's body or a model's face.
