We are so excited in the Mad House that the Olympics are upon us again. I love the winter olympics and it is a little known fact that Mini was named after a scottish skier! So this week’s something for the weekend is dedicated to Olympics.
2013, the year of “Choosing Joy”, but also the year of learning.  This is the year that I start to take time out for me and put these grey cells in my brain in to some use.  Where I try to see if an old dog can learn new tricks! I am doing this in a couple
The Olympic Logo is one of the four major symbols of the Olympic games, along with the medals, touch and mascots.
