This weekend the Olympic Torch passed through Southampton! Tony had plans to go and watch Saints play at home with his Dad, Gemma our sister and her other half Steeeve; the torch even passed through the stadium (see pics below)! William and I spent most of the day lounging around having a duvet day watching his films - or MY PROGRAMMMMMMES as he likes to demand all of the time. Love him.
It was pretty cool watching Casper the friendly ghost after all of these years though, I must admit!
Even though it was raining, yep still raining here in blighty - what Summer?! William and I headed over to West Quay to go and see the torch run by. I honestly thought that I had left it too late and we were going to miss it but we managed to get to central Southampton from ours within 15 minutes, park and get a reasonable spot... result! I'm glad we got to see it even if it was for a few minutes as when is this going to happen again?
William was more interested in the policemen and their flashy motorbikes but we both had a great time and I hope that he will remember bits of it when we show him the photographs when he is older. All of the excitement was followed by a toastie and a cupcake at Costa... yum!
