It's not all bad news...

My Grandson Luke graduated from The Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst, on Friday.   He is now a Second Lieutenant in The Royal Engineers.   A sapper.   The families military service tradition continues.   Currently two of my Grandsons are serving.   (Luke's brother Adam is a Sergeant Technician in the Royal Air Force).   This, I believe, is the first time we have had an officer in the family - So we all have to salute him....   Probably not.

The year that he has spent at Sandhurst has been horribly affected by the dreaded Covid19 with three isolation periods and they were only allowed off base, except for training exercises, three times.   They had the usual Sovereigns Parade but no friends or family were allowed to watch it live.   It was put on the net but even that broke down half way through!

Anyway, 171 young British lads and lasses are now off to serve their Queen and country.   May good luck follow in their footsteps.
