1,250th post

As this goes out, I should be just back from a weekend away that has more in common with a cubs Halloween Weekend in lots of ways and it does take a bit out of me as much as I enjoy it.


Conkers were always a part of that time first time around before goggles and health and saftey restricted the games we payed establishing who thad the strongest conker and this was one I found recently and taken practising my manual focussing skills as with high magnifications the area front and back of the subject get less sharp and so you're trying to keep the object in focus and less that backdrop.

Photography was and is a thing when it comes to Gaining an Award and a badge in Scouts even if the sorts of camera we might use have changed beyond recognition in the intervening years

And things around modern scouting is what we talk about here as much as both what I do today inspired by that and we look at scouting as we recall it from our own childhood pasts from those early posts in 2018 to now.

It may vary from week to week but that's the focus so we're celebrating the 1,250th post here today.
