WOW

I have been incredibly lucky to have visited the Olympic park three times over the past month. On Sunday I was invited to go to the Paralympics with Steph and, with day passes, we were able to see wheelchair tennis, goalball and wheelchair basketball. Then last night Rhian took Fi and myself to watch the evening session at the Olympic stadium.

Walking into arena is just incredible when you see the seats all taken; people smiling, cheering and waving flags. The superhuman athletes are phenomenal themselves, no matter what nationality everyone screamed them on (only the yells became louder when it was Team GB!) We were sat next to family friends of one of the GB athletes, Paul Blake, which made the cheering all the more special. There was 80,000 peoples worth of good vibes in that place last night!

I've said this before, but the whole atmosphere around the Games has been great. I've got many happy memories from watching London 2012 but I don't want it to end!

I ❤ LDN 2012

On Thursday we went to the Olympic Games. We arrived in the beautiful sunshine and for a few hours wandered around the Olympic Park to take in the sights of the stadia in their gorgeous surroundings. What a contrast between delicate wildflowers and strong, unique architecture. We watched handball in the basketball arena, which was great fun, and sat in the park watching the big screen as the sun went down, entertained by Mr Bolt in the 200m.

The London 2012 Olympics has been all I expected and more. I've been an excited advocate from the off, all those seven years ago, and it seems around the world people have been impressed too. Fear not, the Paralympics is yet to come, and I hope there will be as much enthusiasm around these games as there has been for the first.

But for now, the Closing Ceremony is about to start...
