Photograph Quiz:

Photo no. 69:- Searching through a pile of old stuff this weekend I found this certificate. Now Blog, for what event was it awarded?

Blog …. So I found the above certificate. Surprisingly this was not my first competition. That was at my dad’s works sports when I was about seven years old. The significant part of the proceedings that I remember are 1:- the lanes in the sprint races were separated by a long length of string supported by stakes … of course I later learned that that was the way actual races were set up! The second memory was watching the slow bicycle race. This was really upsetting. Really. I am not joking Blog. Why you ask? Well firstly all these kids of my age actually could afford to have bikes. And the bikes were all new and shiny.

Now Blog, I would hate you to think that I was not one to enter into the festive spirit, so here I go  …. You’ve got to laugh, haven’t you? HAVEN’T YOU????????
