Well at last Carole is home. We were at the airport to meet her an hour before the plane was due in. BUT we were still not the first in line to wait..... So with no lunch we took a spot near the front and held our ground. Along came Thomas and Claire with Jack and Kevin, flags big and small....Followed by Jim Roche much to Caroles delight.
Every time the doors opened to let people out after their flight there was a huge cheer and some very confused faces.! Some took a bow before exiting. The flight was delayed and finally around 1.30 a triumphant team returned.. No one would know they had been up since 3am. What a cheer they got. The smiles, the tears, the hugs, the kisses, a wonderful reunion.
107 medals between them, 31 Gold two of which Carole brought back to Wexford. Carole had difficulty getting out of the Airport as Philip Bromwell and two other reporters wanted an interwiew. We left the airport quietly and at the first roundabout was a huge sign with CAROLE RYAN GOLD in lights What a thrill that was. We thought Carole might sleep on the way down but the excitement was too much.
At the Beehive Carole was met by 5 cars all decorated for the occasion and inside were Pauline, Lilly, Nancy, Edel, Sarah, Paul, Jim, Karen and Kathleen and Paul. Carole was delighted especially when the horns started to blow as we left. Every opportunity we got we made noise!!
Carole was met by Ed (took photo to right) and Valerie at the end of Wexford bridge, much to her delight.
