Olympic Torch Excitement



We joined the throngs yesterday up near lovely Greenhead Park in Huddersfield to see the Olympic torch - Twiglet was v.excited - hence non sports fan Twiggy getting out of bed on a Sunday morning :)

We went to the park afterwards to do a few activities but after half an hour the heavens opened so we hopped it.

I had to pop into Sainsbury's on the way home for a few bits and Twiglet got a Moshi Monsters comic as a treat as the rain stopped him going on any rides in the park.

On the way home I said, will you remember today for the rest of your life Twiglet?

(Twiglet looks totally impressed by it all - not !!)

He replied yes Mummy, the very,very first time I've bought a Moshi
Monsters comic.

You've got to laugh.

    Haha, I have to agree with him really, I dragged all the children out on saturday morning to see the torch, let's just say it was the biggest disappointment of my life!! But we saw it and are now a part of history. Nathaniel was heard to say in a very loud voice; "Is that it??!!!" x

    Aww you have to laugh don't you? I'm not sure that the torch comes near us but we will be able to go see the flame at the Olympic park as its not that far from us. Unfortunately we weren't lucky enough to get tickets to any of the events though

    we get to see the flame at some ungodly hour in the morning next week. Hubby overseas so it will be dragging the children out of bed at a ridiculous hour (i.e. before 7). Can you sense my excitement?

    Hahahaha - bless him. I remember the Queen's Silver Jubilee so very well, but wonder whether my kids will remember the Diamond Jubilee so well? x

    We loved the Olympic torch - so much so that we follwed it into Sheffield for the evening. The weather was so great that families just syated put and the atmosphere - even after the event with nothing else happening, was totally wonderful. xxx

    Oh, too funny. we're off to see the torch this weekend - there will be a big do in Cambridge and I doubt we'll get near enough to see anything but it should be a laugh!

Well I"ve finally taken the plunge...................

After drooling over many blogs for months now I've decided to finally take the plunge, so here is my new dawn.
Hence the beautiful sunrise above as photographed by Mr Twiggy through our bedroom window. (I'm sure I'll be including a lot of his pics, hope he doesn't expect commision).

I love crafting and have ever since I was a little girl and spent hours playing with my mums button tin (which I've inherited) and amused my self by making dresses for my dollies - even though I'd cut their hair and given them green felt tip highlights. Punk Tiny Tears - I should have marketed this idea !!

Hope you enjoy my work as much as I've enjoyed others who are a daily inspiration to me.

I hope to share favourite blogs, books and anything and everything with you, so enough off my blithering on and watch this space...............................................
