    Was it as crowded as a cattle market or could you stand back and get a good look at things?

    Very good! The crowds put me off a bit, but the coverage is always pretty good on the BBC.

    Oh I may be getting depressed - Oh I may be should not have posted or just feeling odd - lovely pictures, but they leave me feeling cold for some reason??? Everything so organised or contrived to be artistic - I am sure it feels different in real life.

    I may be need to get out more!
