Die and Let Live 007


This was my first Easter Camp and surprise, surprise I really did enjoy it. Even Teri-Anne enjoyed it so it must have been ok. It was a good time of getting to know each other better and great to see some old familiar faces from Alexandra again - Kay, Ash, Sabian and Sam. The option of rice day was taken up by a number of us - in return for us not eating the normal meals and just a bowl of rice at each meal, the cost of our normal meal was collected and donated to the people who live on the dump in Tonga. I was resigned to rice for the day but soon learnt from more seasoned campers that it wasn't apparently breaking the rules to accept chocolate or other goodies offered to you from other people as even very poor people get things offered to them. The die and let live theme of the camp was memorable as was the teaching from Malcolm Irwin who instilled in us the takeaway line - sexy carrots.
