Brownsea Island

On Saturday I spent the day on Brownsea Island with my Scout Group. Brownsea is the birthplace of Scouting and is where Badden Powell spent 9 days camping with 24 young boys introducing them to the outdoor life that to this day is extremely strong throughout the World nearly 100 years later.

Had a great day but in my rush left my camera next to my PC at home so photos maybe a bit slow to arrive on the site as only took a couple on my mobile phone

Football Crazy

This week I have had mixed fortunes on the football field. On Monday night my fives side lost by 11 goals to 2, not a nice start to the new league however we was a bit short of players.

Tonight however we managed to win by 3-1 over the Company that shares part of our site at work in a 11 a-side game. Much better than Monday so an improvement in moods this evening. Just sorry that I let the one get past me tonight.

Easter Fun

Well this year I did something quite different for Easter. Usually I spend it with the family however this year I went away with some friends to the Isle of Wight (just off the South Coast of England) on an over 14's Scouting Camp. Split into trwo groups those over 18 and the rest under we took part in a range of activities that usually ended in drinking round the campfire whilest singing songs, some slightly ruder than others.



However with perfect weather (well atleast during the day) in the 20's (thats C not F) although the nights got a bitr cooler with a little frost. However it didnt freeze those spirits and we all had a fantastic weekend. The theme was Bond 007 (after all it is 2'007 this year) so below are a few photos.

Bad phone

At the moment I dont seem to be having much luck with my mobile a coupe of weeks ago the outer cover screen cracked in my pocket and now less than 2 months since I got it the mic has also desided that it doesnt want to play ball. Who said that phones were getting better
