And they're off!!

So, welcome to the Alternative Olympic Games! If you were unaware of this amazing Blip event please see here and join in when you can if you would like to! The more the merrier and olympicer!! 

Before we even start I need to express an interest! I am one of the panel of International Judges for this competition and will be following your entries with great interest, stars, hearts and Honourable Mentions! 

Today, on my way to coffee and croissants, I came across Olivia the Clam Juggling Octopus (as if you needed telling!) warming up. 
She is the creation of Mel Ashcroft who has made other characters that we may see this week if the weather holds for all of their events. Thank you to Mel for creating these great images to cheer up our town! 

I am looking forward to seeing all of your fun entries over the coming days. May the taking part be the thing!! 

Today also happens to be a Silly Saturday which is hosted by KangaZu so that tag seems to work for Olivia today as well! Thank you to KangaZu for hosting this event for August.
