I keep meaning to do more of these, but time always seems to find a way to slip past me, and I love Coombe Mill’s website, so I’ve finally managed another Country Kids post. We had a drive through to Huntly and the river Deveron at the weekend, and the kids spent ages skimming stones on the river.
The photos are from my old iPhone 3GS so you really do have to forgive the lack of quality, but hey, it was a weekend away, so I guess that means I was allowed to relax the good photo rules.
So, where do the Army Cadets come in.
Two of my boys spent a fair time with an army cadet, asking her all about it. By the time they had finished talking, they were all up for joining the cadet force in Aberdeen to get their hands on some guns (heaven forbid). Suffice to say that I’ve been asked to check it out for them as a hobby to add to their karate. Somehow they’ve got the impression that being in the cadets is a reason to be seen as a “hard nut and shooting perfectionist.”
Needless to say, I’ve requested the information about the battalions in Aberdeen and there are several to choose from, so one of mine might get a chance at getting his hand on a gun and marching in time. It certainly will mean getting involved, plenty of activities and some face paint and guns. Discipline will also be at the front of it all, and respect for others.
What’s not to love for a boy by doing it, and the benefits for me as a parent could be quite high?
Over and out.
