Enjoying the Sun before the Show

Well over the past week the buzz in Glasgow is slowly starting to rise and my excitement levels are almost through the roof for the 20th Commonwealth Games that are taking place here in Glasgow in only a few days! A lot of my clyde-sider training incomplete, my uniform is ironed and ready to rock and last night I got the unbelievable experience of attending a dress rehearsal for the Opening Ceromony. We have been asked to keep everything secret but WOW you guys are in for a real treat! make sure you tune in if you live anywhere in the Commonwealth... There will be lots a 'First' that you won't want to miss out on.

The Ceremony will be broadcast on the 23rd of July by the BBC or if you are in Glasgow yourself, why not head down to Glasgow Green for some opening ceremony festivities and FREE MUSIC! Thats defiantly where I'm headed this Wednesday!

No only am I a voulentreer with the Wrestling, I have also managed to get tickets for the Rugby 7's on Saturday! I think this may be just too much excitement for one person!

Will you be watching the Games Ceremony?  From what country?

Hope you all have a good games

Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games | I'm a Clyde-sider :)

Glasgow 2014 | George Square, Glasgow

I just got my uniform  

If you have seen my previous blog post on the London 2012 Olympic torch relay, you will be swear about how easily excited I get over mega sporting events. I see it as a great time for a country to come together to support our finest athletes. 

For those who don't know, this year, the 2014 Commonwealth Games are being held in my University city of Glasgow. I was around a year ago that I fist applied to become a volunteer with the games, and after interviews and the starts of training I am very happy to announce that I am going to be a 'Clyde-sider' at the Wrestling. 

I plan to share some of my amazing experience here that I am sure to have come July! so watch this space!

Are any of you clyde-sider or have tickets for the Glasgow 2014?

Lifestyle | My Birthday Weekend | Part1

Hello everybody!!!

Its My Birthday (well... was my birthday!!)

On the 14th I turned the ripe old age of 22!! It feels like yesterday i was 21- where did my year go!?!

With friends and family all over Scotland I have been rather busy traveling and being spoiled by everybody!

First Stop Edinburgh!!!

When I heard that the Olympic Torch was going to be in Edinburgh on My birthday I quickly harangued my sister into coming with me. However we found out the torch was going to be leaving edinburgh first thing (6.30am) on my birthday so decided to go see it the evening before instead!

My journey began with a "smashing" start when leaving Glasgow bus station, my bus to edinburgh was involved in a accident when another bus in the station backed straight into it smashing all the windows down one side of the bus!! Thankfully nobody got hurt and after a long time spent waiting, we were finally on our way again on a shiny new bus!!

The Bus after the wee accident!!

The Weather was lovely in the Capital and while waiting for my sister to finish work so we could go see the flame i sat and enjoyed a coffee with a rather spectacular view of the castle!! 

Edinburgh Castle

The morning after (my actual birthday) my sister spoiled me rotten and we went shopping, ate out and bought the most delicious yummy french macaroons from a cute little cake shop just on Hanover st. Everything looked amazing your mouth watered just looking in at their window!! They currently don't have a store in Glasgow but if you live in Aberdeen, Edinburgh or St.Andrews I would recommend going in for some treats!!

After a hard day of shopping we were both pretty beat so spent a lazy evening in eating junk food and watching TV (This is a big treat for me as i don't have a TV back in my flat in Glasgow!!)

Next Morning I had an early morning bus back to Glasgow and safe to say the promised rain drenched The whole city... lucky for me i was safe warm and dry on the bus home!!

Typical 'Scottish' Summer weather :p

I Have done a 'Birthday Haul' Video on my YouTube Channel so you can check it out,

 but for now I have to get back to my Birthday celebrations!! :) 

Thanks all for now

Olympic Torch Relay: Glasgow 2012!!

Hello There!!!!

In the Run up to London 2012 the Olympic Torch finally reached up north to it's Scottish leg of the tour! Large Scale events like this always get me so excited, i don't know if it's just everybody in the country getting together and getting excited that makes events like this so much fun or if it's just my inner child trying to get out!!

Last Friday (8th) The Olympic Torch was In Glasgow and I managed to convince some of my lovely friends to entertain me in coming down to the city centre to watch the procession and i can safely say i was NOT disappointed!!!

We picked the most amazing spot where the torch passed not once but twice AND we even got to see a torch change over!!!

The Torch Change Over

The Torch is currently in Aberdeen and is heading south to Edinburgh tomorrow (where i'm then dragging my sister to go see it with me again!!) It was amazing to see everybody line the streets of the city wanting to celebrate the UK getting this event and for Glasgow it was a taster of whats to come when we host the Common Wealth Games in 2014!!!

Even managed to get a cheeky picture with one of the Torch Bearer

Have any of you guys been out to see your Olympic Torch Relay?? What did you think??

Thats all for now!!
