Are you sad that the Olympics are over or are you celebrating the return to normal life - and normal tv schedules for that matter?
Despite Rio 2016 following a summer of back to back sporting events - Euro 2016, Wimbledon, the Tour de France to name but three - the chances are you were hook, line and sinker like myself. Even if you’re not such a sporting fanatic, how could you fail to be impressed by our super elite athletes slugging it out at the top of their game? And if that didn’t pique your interest, perhaps you just tuned in to take a glance at those impossibly tiny swimming trunks on those impossibly toned divers...
The dedication, strength and determination of each Olympic athlete is staggering. Just thinking about their ‘road to Rio’ blows my mind. The daily gruelling training sessions, year upon year upon year. The injuries, the setbacks, not to mention the total lack of alcohol!
There is always a buzz around this massive sporting occasion and a lot of chatter about ‘getting inspired’. That’s all well and good but the only thing it inspired me to do was get cosy on the couch, pull on the blanket and open a bottle of super-chilled vino before enjoying the spectacle…
However, the dreams of those athletes must have started somewhere. A book? A television programme? A chance meeting with a medal winner perhaps?
At Little Lucy Willow we have our own special way of inspiring the next generation with our beautiful, light up canvases. Let them drift off to sleep with a twinkle in their eye and a story in their heart.
