The sportier branch of my family have finally achieved a medal representing New Zealand!
Cousin Ruby and her mates won bronze at the World Rowing Championship in Bulgaria in the Womans Junior (18yrs or younger)Quadruple Scull! I am so proud :-)
Ruby is second from right.
Hope to see you in Rio!
There are times when I just can't help being proud of the nation where I was born. As assimilated English as I am (can't abide the French, addicted to strong hot milky tea etc) there are moments when I just KNOW I am a New Zealander, and proud.
