Torch Relay

Liverpool's turn to get a gander at the Olympic Flame. Say what you like, but I had a good time. As did she by the look on her face. I've looked on the website and I can't work out from the list of participants which one she is (and apologies for that). But as she jogged down Upper Duke Street she had the most enormous grin on her face - she loved it.

And that brought home to me a little message; that behind all the corporate bollocks of things like Visa only ATMs there are actually real people who will take a little bit away from the Olympics that no one can ever call back or repossess. This was her moment and she grabbed it; it's her's forever. That's special and I was really pleased to have been there to see it.
