The Forty Sixth Doodle

Oh dear, the London 2012 Olympics are finished, and I am really very sad!

I was lucky enough to have had some tickets for athletics and football, and the atmosphere was truly like nothing I've ever felt before. Everyone was so happy and enthusiastic, chatting with each other no matter where they were from or who they were backing. It was bloody fantastic.

I really hope London can spring from this and get more kids into sports, that would be the ultimate goal.

But for now, here is my wee homage to the Olympics and Team GB. And yep, the Paralympics version is coming in the next few days too :)

Well done to all of Team GB, we are so very proud!

The Thirty Eighth Olympics Doodle

So I had to go there. The Olympics was just, quite simply, wonderful. I do confess, as a Londoner myself I was quite worried beforehand; worried about travel issues trying to get to work, the city getting horrendously busy, all those sorts of things. But in the end, London did incredibly well. And I was lucky enough to go to see the athletics, and the atmosphere was amazing! Everyone was chatting and having a laugh together, didn't matter where they were from or who they were supporting, who was winning and who wasn't. 

FYI I am yet to see this sort of friendly attitude at football matches in the UK.

You know us Brits though, we love a loser. The races I saw had a few runners who seemed to suffer injury so they fell very far behind, but the crowd cheered them on all the way round. It was just fab.

Yeahhhhhh team GB :-D

So I'm working on a wee tribute to our amazing athletes and our amazing city, the whole of the UK. Aren't we marvellous. Keep your eyes peeled for more soon!
