More Chartres photos
Chavagnes Scouts defying the elements marching to victory and Chartres.
Weariness cannot weary them, nor tiredness tire, for they have the Name of the Lord to call upon.
Our leaders are brave...
Our warriors mighty...
Our chaplains have suspiciously walnut whip shaped hats.

Resting Scouts
The Scouts did wonderfully well. Almost all walked all the way and we impressed all aleng the way by our simging of polyphony and songs about bears. The boys were a credit to the school.
We sang Spanish songs with such pain of the soul that even the angels wept, and then transformed the song into a paean of praise to packets of biscuits.

Will he never die?
Last year on the Chartres Pilgrimage I posted this picture of a dead Scout:
Imagine my dismay to find that not only did he not die last year (in fact I have a sneaking suspicion that he sits next to me at breakfast) but also that he seemed to die again this year.

We shall have to monitor the developments...
Chartres Pilgrimage
The pilgrimage is also a wonderful place to catch up with old friends. Here are some parishioners from St George's Warminster.

Dead Fish at the seaside
Sables d'Olonne |
Boy buried in sand |
And at lunch one of the boys found a dead mackerel in a bush and put it on a stick to show me. Of course it did not stop eating his sandwich at the same time. I think that bacteria are too scared of boys to invade their bodies.
