Monday 27th August 2012 – 'The Wa-ympic Torch' (240/366)

Tonight we went into Cardiff Bay to see the Paralympic Torch reaching the beacon for Wales and being lit. We arrived at 7pm, splashed around for a bit, found out that they weren't lighting it until gone 9pm and came home again. Reclothed in dry clothes and The Boy's splashproof suit, we went back out again (it's only 5 minutes from us) andreparked the car. Unfortunately, they didn't light the flame until 10pm which was way too late for little ones. However, The Boy did brilliantly and cheered hugely when Simon Weston was the last torch bearer in Wales. The Boy really enjoyed himself and did superbly.

Thursday 16th August 2012 – 'Honeysuckle' (229/366)

This is the honeysuckle that my mum bought me when I moved into my first house ten years ago. When we moved two years later, I dug it up and moved it with us the 125 miles back to Cardiff where it has gone bananas ever since. I love this time of year when it is still covered in flowers and buds, but the older blooms have turned into the berries.
