Come through the entrance to St Pancras station in London, look up to be amazed at William Barlow's single span elliptical roof and see some rings have appeared. Bit dull?
Come round the other side and here are the Olympic rings in full colour. John Betjeman's statue has temporarily got more than the shed roof to look at. An appropriate combination for no doubt if still alive then he would probably be attending the Poetry Olympics Enlightenment Marathon or the
Olympic Parnassus when it is hoped that a poet from all 204 nations competing at this year's London sporting Olympics will come together with a poem, although there are 23 countries lacking a representative so the search goes on from American Samoa to Vanuatu, a call has gone out to find the missing poets

When we were in London the Olympic countdown clock was at 196 days now we are down to two figures - 93
and on the other side the Paralympics was 229 days away, now its only 126.
I couldn't feature a statute of John Betjeman without a poem so here he is dreaming of his 'Olympic Girl'
