Ten Years On......

That 'last' post was meant to be THE last post but couldn't resist this last, last post!

Hard to believe it but it's ten years on since London 2012. 

London 17 July 2022 - The Cow, Westfield Shopping Center

That's when and where we had our 'annual' reunion - the London 2012 NGR NOC (Nigeria National Olympic Committee) Assistants - in Stratford Westfield close to the Olympic Village which was our home along with Team Nigeria for two weeks in 2012 - ten years ago!

We - Alex, Bernie, Cath, Dapo, John, and I - try to meet annually but  Life and the Pandemic meant it's not every year as you can see...

A time to reflect on what has happened in those ten years.....we have become husbands, OBEs, FRSAs, changed jobs. moved up the management chain, retired, become doctors, fathers, grandfathers - all change - the reunion was our chance to share those changes. #GoodFun #AllLifeIsHere.

We also took the chance to remember and reflect on the many 2012 highlights, the common one was Golden Saturday - 3 Gold Medals for Team GBR.

Together we've enjoyed our personal London 2012 legacy sadly the same cannot be said of the Government with its promised legacy of the regeneration of the East End of London.

Sadly Dapo couldn't make the 10th, let's hope he can the 15th and that'll be the last, last, last post....maybe!
