Cunningly, if you click on the title, you get to see a bigger and better version of each. Three cheers for Photobucket.com

I seem to have hit a problem with my otherwise beautiful blog. I've now reached the limit of my available space for uploading photos and they want me to pay for more. Those of you who use blogspot (run by the evil giant, Google) - do you have unlimited space?

Also, I'm slightly worried about my laptop which gets very hot and slow after an hour or two of use. Is that normal? What should I do? Please tell me it's not about to explode? Help!

Though I may be slightly biased.

Walhampton Manor, Lymington.

It's now known as Hordle Walhampton School since the merger with Hordle House School some years ago.  Hordle House was where Junior camp was held for many years, just outside Milford-on-Sea.  You could walk to the beach from the school and throw stones at the Isle of Wight.

This: is the exact spot where I became a Christian 16 years ago, on the way over for cocoa after the evening meeting.  We'd had a talk on the Prodigal Son and it was absolutely clear to me that God wanted me to come home to him and that I wanted to return to him.  So I did.  With very little understanding of anything else, like the cross, or the bible - little things like that!  But I loved him and I knew he loved me no matter what I'd done.

Here's the terrace, where we have tea.  Known as 'tea on the terrace'.

And this is the lily pond.
And one of the lakes.

Probably the best ALs in the world?


The house team and Henry the hoover.

The dining team with Hobart the dishwasher.

After some dirty tricks on the part of the dining team, the house team were declared winners and everyone went for tea and a swim (in the wrong order - oh well!)

Thanks to Steve, Rob, Robby, Nick, Tom, Allan, Nicole, Amy, Harri, Helen, Jen and Miriam for working and learning and playing so hard last week - and making my last camp such a great one! And to Neil, Stephen, Phillip, Dave and Rachel for being so fun to work with.
