At about 8.00 a.m a few people had already arrived,
then a few more...
They seemed to be having a jolly time.
Great expectation
The torch arrived and was lit from the one that had gone through Great Malvern
And then it was off along the A449
The joys of having a camera with an excellent zoom meant I could stand on our top landing and watch - even H couldn't resist watching from the kitchen, though only because he was eating his breakfast .. . I'm no great fan of the Olympics, but if this gives people pleasure and gets them out on the streets smiling and talking to each other there has to be some good in it. M is disgruntled as the torch isn't going to W***** - H says that's the best reason to support it he knows :-}
The shopkeepers in Great Malvern are putting on a street party on June 4th for the Jubilee. We can't go but it sounds fun, especially if the weather holds, and the town is already festooned with union jack bunting and window displays. As it's such an old-fashioned place it's really like stepping back to an earlier era.

Have lots of friends in Cardiff but no-one blogs! Shaheen at Allotment 2 Kitchen is in South Wales, wonder if it goes near her?
You'll never guess who is on litter patrol for the Great Malvern street party - doing my bit for Queen and Country at last!
It is coming to Chester tomorrow. Not a fan of crowds, nor, I think the Olympics, seems to be less about the sports more about the money. What a misery I am, but don't care. I am using all my patriotism on the Jubilee!
Thanks for your kind message Jane- I could've done with picking your brains about showing tips, this was the first show I've done for 20 odd years and I'd forgotten everything I ever knew!
The olympic torch comes to Blandford Forum soon which is the nearest stop to us and I'll go see it
Hope all is well with you
xx
