Paralympics Closing Ceremony - 9th September 2012

We were those Londoners that did not go to any Olympics' events; neither the Olympics nor the Paralympics.  Do I regret it? A little.

So it was with regret we woke up on Sunday 9th September knowing that the London 2012 Olympic bandwagon was about to "leave town".  Yesterday was the closing ceremony for the Paralympics, but it felt particularly poignant given that it was the end of the whole Olympic experience.

The husband came up with the idea of going to Stratford for some photo ops, while the masses and the street furniture (and most importantly the VIBE) was still there.

So we set off yesterday and spent a few hours there.

I am glad we did.

Then when we got home, we watched the Closing Ceremony on TV.  Anyone else REALLY excited by the vibe Brazil is clearly going to give it all.  They are worthy followers to us.  I would book a flight and hotel right now if I could afford it!

ME on the RADIO - LBC 97.3 tonight! Topic of Conversation: The Olympics

Hi

Last night I was on
If you are still up and you are in the UK please tune into LBC 97.3 at 3 a.m. to hear me, in a panel of 4, talking with Duncan Barkes about the London Olympics.  We were invited in, so that real Londoners could give their views on the forthcoming Olympics, coming to a City near you in just 7 days....

If you are anywhere in the World, you can listen to LBC 97.3 at http://ukrp.musicradio.com/lbc973/live

Here is the Olympics Panel speaking: listen to me here.

Here are the photos.  Such an enjoyable way to spend my night :-)

An absolute honour!

The reception - their offices are in Leicester Square - should I say "recording studios"?
