So thats the London Olympics finished. What can I say, they've been an absolute triumph. Spectacularly staged, astonishingly supported and full of imagination and humour, especially in Danny Boyle's mad, brilliant opening ceremony. Its a cliche to say but they really appear to have brought the UK together - even the Scots!
We were abroad in Portugal for a substantial part of the games but of course there was no escaping them and we got straight back into the last week on return. The whole country feels empty now they've finished and they have been an absolute triumph for London and the whole UK.
Can't help but wonder when we'll see them in Europe again - given the state of the euro economies who could afford them!
