Torch Relay Day 4

Hope you are following the torch relay.  Some pics here but the BBC link site is great for video, photos, articles and minute by minute tweets and commentary.  Have a look.

The sun is shining and the crowds are proving the cynics wrong.  It'll definitely make you smile.

Olympic Flame

Today the Olympic Flame is arriving in Britain for the 70 day torch relay around the country.  95% of the population live one hour away from the route that it will be taking and will be able to see sportspeople and ordinary heros taking turns to carry the flame across the land.  We should feel good about this whether we are sports lovers or not.  It is a chance to celebrate something communally.  Don't let the nay sayers and sceptics decide your feelings in advance.  Watch its progress and make up your own mind when you see the faces of the people who are running with it or who have taken the trouble to line the route.

Olympic Bid Win

Going for a bit of a theme with the posts today, starting with a piece of video that never ceases to make me smile, not necessarily because Britain won, but how can you not smile along with people when they are sooo happy and ecstatic in their response after all of their hard work.
