Closing Ceremony Treats Sunday 9th Sep

On the day of the Paralympic Closing Ceremony, my friend Jools and I went out for lunch to James Martin restaurant in Leeds, The Leeds Kitchen. Very tasty. Wore part of my uniform as on the Monday was the parade through London. Unfortunately I didn't get a ticket so thought I would wear my uniform today instead! Brought lots of attention! Was a lovely warm day, had a blast, however too much red wine I think!

Thumping Thursday!

Gold galore! Sarah Storey is officially the most equally decorated Paralympian. Her greatest ride at Brands Hatch. Knowing we saw Sarah at the velodrome break her world record makes me so proud. Barney, her husband, also a medallist, just awesome. Then the stadium went on fire with Hannah Cockroft on the 200m from Halifax, then Werewolf Dave Weir eins his 3rd gold in the 800m, with the marathon still to come!!
And finally the crowd screaming "Peacock, Peacock!" and Jonnie Peacock wins gold in the 100m! More tears, so proud. The National Anthem will ring out again. The Paras are going to leave a magnificent legacy, these athletes are so inspiring. I am lovin' the Paras. Wish I was volunteering again, although I am so full of joy knowing that I am part of London 2012. Silver for Dan Greaves in the discus. GB are smashing it!!!

Weir Army!

Gold to Dave Weir in the 1500m....screaming at the tv!!! More tears! WOW!

Velodrome velocity, with a hint of royal 30th Aug 2012

What an atmosphere in here, great seats, we're in! Crystal Lane and Sarah Storey do us proud. Pure excellence.

Para World Records

Watching Paul Blake in the men's 400m crossing the line, brilliant silver medal, fantastic! These Paralympics are the best man!

Go Sarah!

The story of the day is Storey winning gold! Fantastic!

And there's more....!!!!!

Well I didn't want to add a final post, now I don't! On the train to London to the Paralympics, got tickets for the velodrome tomorrow! Thanks Karen and Paul xxxx
