The Orbit - 1 Year On

"We lit up the flame, we lit up the world" ~~ Lord Coe (Chair of the London 2012 Organizing Committee)

It seems strange to think that one year, one day ago the Olympic Stadium in London was igniting with excitement of the world riding on it. It was only last night I was watching the Opening Ceremony on BBC 3, it even was trending on twitter, something that I never thought would happen one year on. So here it is, the Orbit done in watercolors.

Charlotte Dujardin - London 2012

Before I start, sorry for the slight delay in uploading. But here it is, a watercolor of Charlotte Dujardin after she had won a gold in the dressage aboard her horse, Valegro at Horse Guards Parade.  She had previously also won a gold in the Team Dressage, with the likes of Laura Bechtolsheimer and Ben Maher. In the same, individual dressage  Laura Bechtolsheimer also won a medal, a bronze.

The Conclusion of Summer 2012

The clocks go back tonight, we had snow this morning. Winter has officially made it's first mark! What an end to a very British summer of sport! London had the Olympics/Paralympics, as I'm sure many people found the Gamesmakers definitely made the games! Also Andy Murray's victory at the US Open and the runner up at Shanghai. Not forgetting the jubilee in June.

I've also updated a few of the pages to the right of this post so take a look and don't forget to leave me your comments!

I'm sure that you have probably heard on the news that Alex Partridge and Hannah Macleod had their bronze medals stolen, Hannah's has been recovered but Alex's hasn't yet, if you know anything contact crimestoppers on 0800555111. The medals were stolen after visiting the Queen, at a nightclub in Mayfair (London). Alex Partridge had his Team GB jacket stolen which had his bronze medal in, this has been returned, its just the medal that needs to be returned. If found hand it in to your local police station or  anonymously to: GB Rowing Hammersmith.
