Feeling like a kid in a Sweet Shop with a £10 to spend !

Feeling like a kid in a Sweet Shop with a £10 to spend !
At 47 am I allowed to feel like that ? Well it’s all because I am starting a Radio Ham Course Monday, since being a small boy and going to the ‘Show’ on the common in Southampton, as seeing the radios in the RSGB tent –
I wanted to be a Radio Ham.

Never managed to find a course when I was a kid or Young Adult, but have found one now and I cannot wait.

It’s all very funny because the other tent which I used to enjoy visiting was the bee keeping tent and have just got the families okay to having a hive in the back garden, just need to find a course for that too !

Camping keeps you happy

Just had two weeks holiday, am not normally able to take so much at this time of year but working in a School now may mean low wages – but the main benefit is those holidays!

As I have spent most of my life in industry I have got used to the 20 or if you are lucky 25 days off a year. Not sure how the teaching staff here would cope with only 20 days off – but that’s another issue.

Managed to take some time out and review what’s important to me over the last two weeks, which we spent camping in the Wye Valley and the Derbyshire Peak District.

Over the last 7 years have been spending a lot of time a in a voluntary role working with young people, now I need to spend more time with my children and wife.

Been reading about Camping making you happy, well it does for me – even a weekends camping is so stress free! –
