Day 43

Well, we saw the Olympic Torch Relay, just about! Apparently Cliff Richard passed on the torch to a local lady just in front of us. I say apparently, because it was totally impossible to see the handover behind two trucks, many many security people, and the loads of press that surrounded them. Great to see so many people turn up to see it though. And no rain!

Overhead monitoring

Our view of the handover - nil!

Finally!

She walked - good on her - meant we could all see!

The bus (one of many, actually)

Afterwards...

"Shall we stick around for a bit?"

What the apocalypse migration will look like

    I just spent an hour in the rain seeing the torch in Northampton - I got a picture of it being run past us and my daughter took a video - and then it was gone on to the next small town! The most exciting part was seeing the entourage and the coca cola car!

      It's great to have been a part of it, even if just for a few short moments!
