Back from the crazy dynamism of Hanoi to the somewhat less than crazy dynamism of rural Oxfordshire.

While pulling together some pictures for a presentation next week on Moral Dilemmas in Diplomacy, I rummaged around in the Internet for images of the 1984 Sarajevo Winter Olympics. I was the British government’s representative dealing with the organisational aspects of the Games and so became an Olympic Attache – formally part of the British team, living in the Olympic Village.

The highpoint? This. If you haven’t seen it for a while, sit back and relax – and wait for the scores.

It took us 18 years to win another Winter Games gold medal – in curling!
