London 2012 Olympic Games


I have been ridiculously busy recently and have not posted anything here on my blog for weeks.  I can see light at the end of the tunnel and so will try to catch up with some posts and what I have been doing.

The first of these is the London 2012 Olympic Games.  We were very lucky and managed to get some tickets which were much in demand.

Here is Jackie, with a few soldiers.  She can make friends with most people....


Entering the London Olympic Park....


The Olympic Stadium, just ahead of the Opening Ceremony....


A few pictures from the Opening Ceremony.  This was an amazing show about Great Britain’s past and looking ahead to what would follow in the next two weeks....




With my sons Jeremy, Charles and Richard, on our way to the men’s Basketball.  We watched France beat Argentina and the USA beat Tunisia....



The Olympic Stadium, from within the Park....


Inside the stadium, for an incredible night of Athletics.....






My cousins partner, Helen, enjoying the spirit of National pride....


Bottom right is my cousin Dean.  He doesn’t normally look that unhappy!....


Sanya Richards-Ross of the USA, who won the women’s 400metres....


Christine Ohuruogu, who was second in the women’s 400m....


Then we saw the main event, the Men’s 100m Final.  The excitement level was astounding as Usain Bolt retained his 100m Olympic title.  He is an amazing guy and most of the world wanted him to win again....


Overall, the London 2012 Olympic Games has been amazing.  I am looking forward to what remains this week.
