Sunday 22nd July

It's another beautiful day here on camp and things are now really into full swing. Stores were issued at 08.00 and soon the field was full of the smell of sizzling bacon - hand sliced from the local butcher. I had a lovely meal with the Eagles - Jack O'S and co. After this we had our first inspection with two patrols gaining 'clean sheets' (dropping no marks) - well done Werner and Daniel Bishop! Tuck shop was gratefully received and then we had morning parade followed by a health and safety briefing session. A lazy ploughmans lunch under fluffy white clouds followed and all seems right with the world. The boys are now playing the first round of the Horner shield before a little dip in the chilly embrace of Horner Water before stores are issued for tea - chicken Korma - one of my favourites! Nothing alarming to report at this stage, in fact, quite the contrary everyone seems to have picked up where we left off last year.
