Olympic Torch

[Heaven Scent]

Well I've just come in from decorating the front of the house for when the torch passes the house at 8.55 - the town will close down in about an hour and my two have to leave for school at 7.20.

Bloomin typical of our great British weather its drizling but so long as that's all it does then it shouldn't be too bad a day.

Anyway that's the Bunting, ( plus flags Balloons & bows ) up for The Torch, the Jubilee, The European Cup and lastly the Olympics themselves. - Jobs a guddun!!!

If I ever work out how to do it I'll post a photo later!!!

Don't forget have you're non-alcoholic cocktail ready (sorry)

It is a great atmospher though, just watching it live, can't believe how many local folk are up to watch it this early in the morning.

Not Happy that its just me and 2 mindees - ALL of the schools here are closed till 11.00 except for those sitting exams in the High Schools but my 2 have had to get on a 7.20 bus to stand at the back of a crowd with their school they could have had a perfect view from the front windows of our house - Bloomin' Typical of the Nanny state where the state think they know best for the nations Children - really cheesed off - parents have had up to 10 emails and Txts to threaten families with the action they will take should children not turn up an hour early for school - This in my opinion is a historical moment - when will the olympic torch pass their house again in their life times ?????? - not a happy bunny about that!!!

I've just watched it going through town... saw some mindees waving the flags we made yesterday which was nice!

I was warm and dry in my computer chair it's a big soggy out there!

The schools in our area are allowing children to start late the day the Olympic flame comes near us to allow parents to take children to see it.

I've just watched it go through our village, it was fabulous!

[Beckieboo]

[mushpea]

[Beckieboo]

[md0u0131]

It's going through our village on June 19th which is MEGA exciting as nothing ever happens in our village! Me and the littlies will be there waving flags whatever the weather!

We watched it go past on Sunday - 2 year old mindee confused about it and more impressed with bus! 2 daughters enjoyed it. Luckily we had gorgeous weather.

Going past the end of our road on 16th July, think alot of the schools are popping out to see it etc

[mrs_scottydog]

We've got to wait until 7th July! But can't complain as I live on the main road where it will be going and the route starts about 100 yards from my house. Hx
