Olympic torch relay 28th June 2012



What an amazing day!! I am so sorry I can't describe the wonderful electric atmosphere, our town was buzzing. So many people, such enthusiasm for a wonderful moment it was raining but it didn't matter!!! The cavalcade of vehicles was fantastic, the outriders, police cars, cyclists and huge vehicles  -  the outriders were so good we loved their humour :0) 

Sam was supposed to walk ....but of course he didn't! He loved every minute of the whole day ...there was cheering and banners, whistles and singing, so so many people waving and calling his name. So much happening that even though I was only 3 feet away he never saw me...ah well I would probably have cried if we seen each other!!



The smile was big and wide and never faded from his getting up to going to bed, I don't know where all the energy came from but it seemed boundless. And how many people wanted a photo ??? I hope he managed to please them all.

So, thank you to everyone who turned out to support Sam and cheer him on, those who know him and those who maybe only know his story and those who don't but waved and cheered. To those who cried and those who gave a huge whoop whoop!

We had lots and lots of lovely people call at home afterwards and the day went on and on for Sam - we couldn't have asked for better...and then the sun shone hurray!

And this morning Sam said, you know mum that was the best day and best party of my life - I am just so lucky...

(thank you Linda, you set this ball rolling! and thank you Diane for the photos)
