Olympic torch come and went

The Olympic torch relay came to Weymouth and the children were allowed to take time out of school to see this once in a lifetime occasion.

Waiting for this historic moment, with our freebie samsung clappers and cola drums

The crowd gathers, the police man is very good at standing still and in the way.

Looks like someone has kidnapped the Olympic mascot

Here comes the torch

There goes the torch!

Little did we know that torch handover was about 50 yards up the road, but we did manage to see some of us on the London 2012 torch relay video site.

Weymouth Olympic Torch

The Olympic torch has come to Weymouth, and party on the beach was going ahead no matter what the weather. So after work I had only one taker who wanted to brave the storms to see this moments occasion. So me and Bethany travelled by train to town then somehow managed to walk straight in to the exclusive blue wrist banned party without having any bands, the view was blinded by umbrellas but we were kept warm by the huddling bodies. The party was ruined by the weather as some dance acts could not perform due to a slippery stage, so we managed to find what seemed to be a good viewing point to see the arrival of the torch by row boat.

View point ... nice umbrellas!

Someone is happy with their freebie drum!

Torch coming in to land, a lot of footage was destroyed by the couple in front waving flags and phones in my view...... I am not bitter!!

Weymouth Floods

With the strange summer we are having, I manages to have a before and after photo of the rain fall.

Sports triumph

Last year Oliver won a trophy in tag rugby, after competing in eight weeks of various sports. This year all four little Hammond's wanted to take part and try to win their first trophy. They all competed well and we are very proud of their efforts. One trophy was won and that was the skipping race trophy.

Skipping race winner!
