Andy Murray Now Supported

It was only a couple of weeks ago at Wimbledon that Andy Murray was Scottish, and a lot of people in the South did not support him as he was entering the Wimbledon finals.  A couple of weeks later and he is playing for Team GB in the Olympic's and everyone is behind him as he wins another medal for Team GB.  I find it strange! Were they happy that in Scotland that he was singing God Save The Queen I wonder?

Olympic Torch Arrives In Oxford

What a great day for Oxford and Oxfordshire as the Olympic Flame and Torch arrives in the county and City on it's was to London for the 2012 Games.  At the end of the days torch relay the city's cauldron was lit by Wantage local, Malcom Fretter on a stage in South Parks.  About 20000 people turned out for the ticketed event in South Parks organised by the London 2012 committee and the Oxford City Council, and the weather stayed dry for the whole event. Great celebration of the Olympics and it was good to have a chance to see the torch and flame up close and in Oxford. I will post more photo's on the making of page soon

Olympic Torch Route Closes Roads

Notices have been put up along the London 2012 Olympic Torch Route in Oxford ahead of the torch arriving on Monday.  This photo was taken early this morning on the Cowley Road, you can tell it is early in the morning as the only other road user is a rubbish truck.  So you have been warned, the London 2012 Olympic Torch is coming to Oxford and roads will be closed.

Road Works Continue On The Iffley Road

Look at this, no cars on the Iffley Road. There has been road works with all the delays and inconvenience that major works like this cause since the 9th of January. I am sure that the residents and users of this major arterial road will be glad with the Olympic Torch arrives in the UK, that is when all road works in the UK must be completed by. Didn't know that the original name of Iffley Road was Henley Road.
