Yesterday, on one of those many TV antique programmes, I caught a mention of The Morpeth Olympic Games, which were staged from the 1870s until 1958, except during the two world wars. The events included Cumberland and Westmorland wrestling.
It looked a fun day out.

And if e'er you should come down to the village or the town, With the cold rain for your garland, and the wind for your renown, You will stand upon the thresholds with a face of dumb desire, Nor be known by any fire. What would you see in your proud land, Petrarch, If you came back again to Italy, And in the Garden of the Medici Could listen to the nightingale or lark And dream of Laura in the fragrent dark?
