Olympic dreams

Today the Olympic torch came to my home town of Blackpool!
Even though I wasn't chosen to carry the torch I was nominated by a couple of people! I got through to the last stage where I didn't get chosen! My Olympic dreams were not shattered as I was today to see the Olympic torch!
The weather today was shocking and a lot of the different events were cancelled due to the weather however I managed to get tickets to go to the tower ballroom and see the show was well as the torch laying to rest at it's evening destination.
It was an awesome show and after it all finished I was talking to one of the torch bearers who let me hold his torch and have my photo taken with it so even tho I didn't get my 'moment to shine' I still got to hold the Olympic torch! I will never forget this day!

Time to go to bed now as the alarm is set for 5am so I can see the torch leave for Manchester
