Ren-G and me!

Hubby took this fun photo of me and the official tournament mascots. They are shishi: sacred, lion-like animals from Japanese mythology. Legend has it they bring happiness and ward off evil. They've certainly brought happiness to England and South Africa!

Another really busy day in Tokyo today. Off to Ise-Shima tomorrow. Hopefully I'll have more time for commenting from there.

Cool picture. The mascots are quite cute. I'm rather pleased that our boys in green and gold have made it through to the final. Go Bokke! 🇿🇦

What a great picture and definitely a keeper. Will be a great memory of this cool trip.
