One of the joys of camping is that the Scouts get to cook their own meals. This morning we had eggy bread, otherwise known in posh circles as French Toast.
The ingredients and method of cooking are very simple, perfect for the first breakfast at camp.

The children say that London today is like being in Kuala Lumpur.
Gochugaru Girl wishes Junior 3 a Very Happy Birthday.
It is a sunny day, as befits a sunny child.
