I haven't been blipping recently as I have been overwhelmed with work both at home and abroad. Today was a very rare day off, even if it did require me to drive 400 miles, I have had a wonderfully enjoyable day, alhough my team lost.

I put all my winnings from the Grand National on a long shot for my team to win today, which would have netted me literally an awful lot of money. I never expected to collect and the referee guaranteed that would not happen.

Whatever sport you support, winning is always such a good adrenaline rush, as is so obvious here. I've not done any real sports photography, but I could easily become addicted to it!!

Many thanks for putting up with me.

To see the all round delight of going ahead, look LARGE
