The sun shone on the Olympic Torch today!

Just got back from watching the Olympic Torch pass down Bath Road.  The children and I had a lovely time.  The atmosphere was great and people were cheering everything, even a builders lorry!  I counted at least three schools, one being Oxford Road Community School.

To make a change the, the sun was shining!  A lovely way to see the torch on it's way....

#Rdg Arts Week - a great week to look forward to

Last night I was lucky enough to go to the launch of Reading Arts Week.  It was a great event, so full of people involved with or supporting local Arts.  I was only there for an hour before I had to head off to a previous engagement but I got a sneaky peek of the art on display and I was so impressed.

Reading is lucky to have a wealth of artists, and the art I saw was so diverse.  I really do recommend getting along to the Penta Hotel this weekend to take a look.

There are other events running this week:
