Two Pies and a Quiche = Olympic Ticket!


Strolled, paused, and gazed.  That's what i did most inside the Olympic Park 2012.  Was delighted to simply soak in the exciting and peaceful atmosphere.  

When I met locals from London, I would ask them how they got their Olympic tickets. Heard lots of interesting answers. 

While sitting on a bench 'people watching' near the large Olympic Park Map, I met an interesting man.  We had a good conversation about several topics and I asked him how he got his Olympic ticket.  He seemed glad that I asked him that question.  Probably eager to tell someone just why he was there.

"Today is my birthday" he said.
"My wife tried for a long time to get me an olympic ticket for a birthday present. It was very difficult".
"One day she decided not to give up, she was patient and waited and waited and started baking while she waited.  She was determined not to lose her cue.  She finally got a response...AFTER she had baked two pies and a quiche!"
