The enormity of today (and I mean that in the nicest way possible) won't sink in for some time.
It was the day the Olympic Flame came to Hethersett and almost 2,000 people turned up at 6.20 a.m to see it paraded round. It was such an excellent event. In itself and on the surface it may not have looked much. After all the flame was in a lantern under one foot high. It was with us for just seven minutes, but the fact that so many people turned up said it all. It brought the whole community together.
As Harry Chapin said in one of his songs:
Sometimes words can serve me well and
Sometimes words can go to hell
For all that they say.
Today I think that words will serve this blog rather well. Just think about the following:
Hethersett is the only place in Olympic History that has had an off route visit by the Olympic flame. That's right the only place in the entire history of the Olympic games. That makes our village world famous, So this was one of those brief moments in time that will last a lifetime. Now to send photos and copy to the newspapers and web sites to reflect such a glorious event,
