I think that's when I realised we were witnessing something unique and very special. xcCryssehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15733554167534664275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33880814.post-48652662967729276102012-07-31T17:42:19.784+01:002012-07-31T17:42:19.784+01:00Crysse, you've said everything brilliantly tha...Crysse, you've said everything brilliantly that I said myself, to Skip last night and to Michael several times. Can't get it out of my head, Never witnessed anything like it- ever. I had tears, I felt 'patriotic'! The only thing you missed - and I suppose it was my own background- but the bucolic beginning rapidly overtaken by smoking chimneys and pollution, as my own memories tell me, from witnessing struggling family farmers, with with cuttlery-making sheds in their back yards. But within all that, the enormous pride I personally felt, coming from Sheffield, for our metal crafters, smelting , beating and forging rings of gold. Better than any medal, for me. Thanks Danny Boyle. Pure genius.Esdragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13694182426819935863noreply@blogger.com
