The lad and I got back late last night from our NZ adventure at their 20th Scout Jamboree. What a fantastic time we had there, especially the very friendly people and wonderful terrain. We enjoyed all sorts of scouty activities and generally had a ball. This was my 9th trip to the Land of the Long White Cloud, and there are many more to come I'm sure! Thanks for a great time Kiwis, you have a beautiful country :-D

In the meantime, I've come home to find that the Dux has indeed taken advantage of my Community Service time to paint like a demon and take a large lead over me in the Painting Challenge. Naturally , any points earned in this period are considered null and void...
The 250+ odd strong Australian contingent to the NZ Jamboree - outstanding fellows and Scouts one and all! |
How come the lad looks a fresh as a daisy and Dad looks like he's been dragged backwards through a hedge.......twice!
