Last night at the Military Music Spectacular on Horse Guards. The Army in London and mass bands of the household division smashing it out the park. Lovely to be hosted by the kind team from Amazon for the evening. Their soldier to veteran program is outstanding. That’s twice this

Final day of work experience for the boy. Today an introduction to martial arts in the army. My boy is a keen Muay Thai participant, it breeds discipline and he really enjoys it. I’m also glad he can look after himself in the big bad world. He had a great session with Nathan
