Description

This book consists of the how the London 2012 Olympic games was enjoyed by everybody around the world, especially by me!

It is now over a year since the London Olympics, there was a celebration after I year.

I decided to write a new book to remind me and readers of this exciting event and to bring back some very happy memories.

Just because a person has some mental health issues it does not mean that they cannot gain a great deal of enjoyment from watching the Olympics and watching sport in general, not just the Olympics, all sporting events at this level

The games were fantastic to watch and were a great success and I thoroughly enjoyed watching them.

The book focuses on some of the major Olympic sporting events that I am particularly interested in, I have also recalled some of the media statements at the time and added my views.

I have described my visit to see the Olympic Torch in Crewe and also to our trip to Old Trafford to watch Japan verses Egypt at the Olympic football Quarter Final.

I think the Olympic Games book will inspire people, including those with Mental Health issues, to be involved in watching top quality sport.

The Olympic Games in London 2012 was enjoyed by the athletes and spectators all over the World.
