Pretty amazing I would say!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteNice to be able to say 'I was there'!
I think those gold post boxes were a brilliant idea. Just love the lego stadium. :)
Happy new week Kate,

I loved it - watched all sorts of sports and enjoyed them all and I'm the least sporty person ever.
ReplyDeleteCaught up on the closing ceremony this weekend - enjoyed that too.
Would love to see one of the gold postboxes - I hope they stay gold forever :)
Gold for six months only, apparently :(
DeleteThe gold post box is so cool, I miss the Olympics, we were totally gripped!
ReplyDeleteoh how sad - wish they stayed Gold forever! Loved the Olympics and all really missing it now! x
ReplyDeleteI take it you had a good time? Love the Lego stadium and we have a gold postbox nearby in Sherborne - I did wonder how long they would remain gold.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous set of pictures to add to your memories - it certainly was a hit all round.
ReplyDeleteOh I squealed when I saw this post pop up in my reader! Your photos are wonderful and capture the spirit and excitement so well. I read about the gold postboxes, I am so glad you included a photo of one and the lego too! I suspect it was just epic.
ReplyDeleteCor - look at those lenses.
ReplyDeleteIt was fun and tiring all rolled into one - we haven't had that much sport in our house since well....forever.
They did do good though.

Without a television it was hard to watch since online viewing requires a television passcode. Anyhow, I did go to a friends to see the opening ceremonies and 2 nights of gymnastics. Can I just say that it was just AMAZING to have London host the olympics!!! Loved the opening ceremonies and loved every bit I got to see and hear about how things went. Grand job UK!
ReplyDeleteWonderful set of pictures....it all worked so well, didn't it? I loved the opening ceremony :) Looks like you had an amazing time there, Kate.....such a lot of special memories!

ReplyDeleteA wonky golden letter box- fantastic! Looks like you had fun watching too!
ReplyDeleteHi Kate..I don't really know what the cubes are, I think probably just bread dough in different colours..white and wholemeal..and it is just kneaded a special way and put in the tins in a particular fashion...it's quite an amazing effect isn't it? I reckon all of the colours used at the olympics made a great show. What a fantastic experience.
