A year of celebration... but it's the long term I that counts

摘要

This year promises to be a year of great celebration in the UK. First, there are the events surrounding the Queen's Jubilee, and what a marvellous sight to view the spectacle of the Thames flotilla which I was privileged to do from a superb vantage point on the river bank at Tower Bridge. Then, of course, later in the year, there are the Olympic Games which promise to be a great festival of competition and sporting excellence.
