The Commonwealth Games
As you probably know the Commonwealth Games was hosted by Manchester this year! And living so close to the city I thought it would be a shame to miss out on this unique experience. I was lucky enough to be given a ticket for the athletics and also went to the, rather wet, Closing Ceremony!
THE CITY OF MANCHESTER STADIUM
THE ATHLETICS
I'm not really a fan of athletics but this event was fab! Being it the stadium and so close to the Games was a privilaged experience, especially as we won a Gold medal!
