This will act as a gateway to the Olympic park. The venue will house two 50m swimming pools and a diving pool. Seating up to 175,000 during the games.
After the games it will be used by the public and elite athletes, family friendly changing facilities and cafe amenities alongside a new public plaza. I will be visiting once open.

This is part of the river Lea, that had to be cleaned m we all know how polluted the rivers are in London but get this: 2,000 newts had to be relocated from the river. It had so many supermarket trolley in there but looks pretty clean to me now. Also along here tree were planted and one by the Queen herself as she has already visited the site some time ago, i wonder if she took the tour bus too?

There is so much more about this development , i was impressed that a look of recycling was going on , also that it will be a car free zone, people attending the games will have to walk , cycle or use public transport. Only one car park for the media and disabled.
If you want to read more visit here I would like to attend the games once complete.

Where do I start?

Opps...............it has been so long , sorry! I have heaps of photos to add here to new blogs that tell me so. I will have to do it in stages. I must admit i have missed you ladies.

What has kept me away ? This time a combination of everything , there have been days over the past month when i just wanted a ME PC day but never got it! I have a teen who has so much course work its coming out of her ears. My PC time is not the only one suffering, other stuff in my life has too.

I have started my degree programme towards finishing my studies inshaAllah. This was very daunting at first and i was very worried about not having time to be honest. I have been reading away , that's academic reading. I am to write my first piece of written work soon. I must admit i am enjoying the whole process and learning . Your prayers for my success would be greatly appreciated.
