Olympian

While I was working away this week, the Olympic torch relay came to the Thames Valley area. The torch was taken to Henley, Windsor (to be presented to the Queen), Ascot racecourse, Bracknell and finally overnighting at Reading.

LL got up early on Tuesday morning to go to the river bank at Henley to watch the proceedings, where he had to wait for 3 hours (poor boy) for a brief glimpse. His reward was a £2 LEGO Olympic Team GB mini-figure, he's easily pleased. Anyway here's his video (I've removed the sound so don't worry if you think your speakers have packed up!).

Later in the day, after school, he was taken into Reading to see the torch arrive there. Lucky boy.
