Day 1 - opening ceremony

WOW!!! What a day!!!

The morning was frantic trying to get everything sorted for our guests, decorating an Olympic-themed birthday cake, making afternoon tea items and tidying the house. Our guests arrived bang on time and we welcomed by the middle parking space (worth a gold medal in itself), a cheer leading welcome and a speech from Andrew. They seemed to love their welcome pack of T-shirts, programmes, books and other London 2012 items. Result.






Afternoon tea was served and the birthday girl opening her present, kitting her out in more London themed items. Once we'd stuffed our faces, we settled on the sofa to start watching the Olympics. Aside from a short break to buy wellies and Olympic scarves, that's where we stayed for the rest of the day. We'd like to claim credit for arranging the six gold medals that Team GB won as being part of our guests' package, but even we couldn't arrange that, or have anticipated it. What a super duper Saturday!!!

Off to bed (and GB themed pyjamas) ready for a day in London tomorrow!
