I made The Games.

The Closing Ceremony was brilliantly done I thought. The shapes I photographed on a few evenings became apparent when the show started, and something else fell into place too.
On Saturday night I met one of the Olympic Flame Security team with 3 of the lanterns.
I thought nothing of it until part way through the Closing Ceremony when I saw the cauldron had been moved.
Of course, to do that, The Flame had to be transferred back to a lantern and then relit from the lantern.
Funny how seemingly insignificant things link to much bigger things.
Lord Coe said Gamesmakers can say "I made The Games." I was overwhelmed when he said that. It is lovely that we have been held in such high regard and I would recommend volunteering at the Commonwealth Games in 2014 to everyone.
The journey back was amusing. A packed train but thankfully I had reserved my seat. I found it amusing that for the last 2 weeks millions of people have moved freely around London yet the day after we can't get a few hundred onto a train :)
The man sitting opposite complained about a few things: getting away from the closing ceremony (at least he was there to complain about it!); the lack of ticket touts; the length of the walk from Stratford station. Oh and his friend who was taken ill during the opening ceremony, was taken to hospital and still had the tickets for the men's 10000 metres! In other news his friend will make a full recovery :)
Another man said he'd seen me on the news and congratulated me, which was great.
Before I left London I saw this legacy on the flat window from when we were asked to back the bid.
So I am home. The washer is on, the cat has ignored me, Adam gets back tomorrow from his Challenge exploits, Mrs. P has cooked a lovely meal and I am relaxing on the sofa. And early night I think
