When I watch the Olympics and follow the proms (and UK music festivals), I can’t help but wonder, what could we achieve if we actually funded sports and the arts in this country and shifted our edu policy in that direction! We need to see change! There is more to life!

I am in awe of these women who have had a baby and won a gold medal. I don’t know how they manage to train and focus and also be so parent. Totally amazed by the accomplishments of these incredible GB mummies.
