Tour of Britain

Today was not planned at all. In fact I was even meant to be at work but Noah was sick this morning which therefore resulted in a spontaneous holiday. By the time we were back home from dropping Jake at nursery, approx 9:05, Noah was absolutely fine. So in a turn of events it turned into a Mummy and Noah day and was pretty awesome.

The Tour of Britain just happened to be passing by so we went into town to soak up the atmosphere.

We found a very good spot on the side of the road and Noah was so excited to see the bikes! He patiently waited 30 minutes before we saw anything and was an excellent companion.

He was entertained by the police motorbikes with their sirens on which kept coming past and then eventually the cyclists came. Blink and you miss it..

However, lucky for Noah the convoy of team support cars was equally, if not more, entertaining and they just kept coming. A handful of them waved at him!

Although I do feel the biggest highlight of the Tour of Britain for Noah was the... parked up fire engine. I guess the guys were quiet and came along to watch the bikes but as soon as they saw Noah looking interested they all came round to see us and hoiked him into a seat and put a hat on him. As I was taking a photo a wasp took a fancy to me and wouldn't leave me alone, I needn't have worried, 3 fireman were shooing it away from me hahaha (that was my highlight)

After all the excitement we went to get milkshakes! But then....

...on our way home through the gardens they have extreme BMXing going on which was incredible! Noah however found much more entertainment on the inflatable slide next to them.

When we eventually got home around 2:30pm Noah flaked on the pouffe for well over 2 hours.

What an awesome sick day!
