I can appreciate totally what you are saying here. It is scary when you first launch a title and we all dread failure. I think it is very natural. I must admit, I had no idea J K Rowling wasn't really J K Rowling ! Nice post, thank you for sharing RB

Enjoyable post, Catalina! I too have lived in many places. When I came to the United Kingdom, it was to set down roots. I had always loved the places and countries I had lived in, but didn't really know where I belonged. I spent such a lot of time on aeroplanes and stayed in many, many hotels as well, and seemed almost at times to live out of a suitcase. I have lived in the same house now for eleven years, but after the first four years I realised I had never lived anywhere for so long. It can provide quite an identity problem, as I still don't feel as though I belong here. But home, they say, is where the heart is - wherever that may be!

On behalf of Great Britain - Thank you John for your lovely comment.
And actually being at the 1984 Olympics must have made it doubly special for you as an American. I am afraid my viewing has been limited to television broadcasts! But I am still just as proud :)

Hi Fred,
Thank you so much for coming by and for your wonderfully patriotic comments. I had always thought we could not, and indeed would not, be competing with China. Their display was stunning, but very militaristic and precise, where ours was far more personal. But as you say, both were equally impressive. I also agree with you about the NHS. I couldn’t see the point either, but nevertheless wasn’t the overall spectacular was just that – spectacular! Personally, I am now looking forward to the closing ceremony. Hope it doesn’t disappoint 

Thanks for dropping by, Kimberly, and for your kind comment.
The Last Night of the Proms will be broadcast across the world on Saturday, September 8th. If you get a chance to watch the last hour, or even 45 minutes, do try. It really is worth it. :)

It seems, Scarlett, there are some striking similarities between British and American politics! But when you rise above these things and enjoy what is out there and your fellow citizens, it is not hard to understand why you are so proud to be American. You come from a very beautiful country, which I for one am extremely fond of :)

Thanks for dropping by, Jane.
Gosh!, Southern Ireland! What a great place to hail from. I love Ireland.
It's hard after years of living in another country not be become part of it, and I am so glad you did and that you have such pride in both your roots and your chosen country. Really nice to hear :)
