OLYMPIC BRONZE MEDALIST

Our sincere congratulations go to Eve Muirhead who won a bronze medal at this years winter Olympic games.

Today the curlers met the prime minister at downing street. Eve is next to David Cameron.

Congratulations Eve, we are all very proud of you. Below is a picture taken of Eve following the medal ceremony

GO EVE!

P&K send our best wishes to Eve Muirhead who plays Canada this morning at 10am in the semi finals of the Sochi Olympic Games. If Eve wins this morning she goes straight into the finals with a chance to pick up a Gold Medal. If things don't quite go the way we hope she will play the winner of the other semi final (Sweden and Switzerland) for bronze.

We are rooting for you Eve!
