...the occasional thoughts of the now ex part-time Corps Officer of Mashbury corps in rural north-Essex, a corps which is quite literally - out standing in its field!
So my little boy is off to big school - this is him at 06:55 on his first morning (he has a c. 1-hour journey each way).
It's funny how he can look so innocent and yet so grown up all at the same time.
He had an "OK" first day (according to him) and hooked up with a couple of new mates that he made at a 10-pin bowling event we had organised on the Monday.
