Off to Townsville

Just in case you all think that I may have run off with a sailor, I am off to Townsville 6am Friday to celebrate my little angel's 1st birthday. Be back next Monday. Can you believe it....1 yr old, walking and as cheeky as anything and oh soooo cute. So there will be lots of photos of the big event. Great menu too....cupcakes, hundreds and thousands sandwiches, softdrinks, icecream, lollies. Bet I have you all watering at the mouth for all those goodies....lol.

Now gents, please remember to wear red on Fridays to support our troops (be it British, Aussie, Canadian or American - wherever they are).

THE ROYAL DRAGOONS REGIMENTAL COLLECT

O God, in whose sight all creatures are manifest and to who eyes all things that are open, grant that the works Thou requirest of the 1st The Royal Dragoons may never be done to be seen of men, but always for Thy Glory, and that, waiting on Thee to renew our strength, we mount up with the wings as eagles at thy word, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

(TOBIAS,1930)
