Use Your Imagination
Im away on business this week, stuck in the middle of the welsh country side entertaining my clients. However while they sit playing bingo of all games, iv sneaked away for a pint and to listen to the match.
Its funny how some people have very high expectations at such a young age, as we stand in what was a wwII activity camp for the children of the near by city, you can actually see how things have changed. The place in which i stand really has not moved with the times, the long dorms, perimeter fences and a very old swimming pool gives you the very esence of what it must have been like back then for the children that came to visit. Now with a few new additions to the camp the children are much more street wise and expect alot more for their money and time.
Stripping them down to the very basics you can see the children panic as they lose their Xbox, playstation and sky TV, all they really have is their imagination and a over excited instructor to entertain them. Its very sad to see a child panic at the thought of using their imagination. What happened here?

No kidding! For a long time I felt bad about the fact that my brothers and I didn't have much growing up. Now I realize that we were blessed in a way, because we spent the years of our youth running around outside entertaining ourselves.
The week seem to work like a Detox, by the end of the week they had forgotten about all the games and tech left at home and just wanted to be outside. Its great to see healthy minded kids enjoying the outdoors.
