Champions!

It's not often that I get to say this, in fact this is probably a first because usually he annoys the hell out of me and doesn't often give me cause to feel such admiration and pride but this is one very special occasion indeed.

Right now I am so incredibly proud of my youngest brother that I have tears in my eyes as I'm typing out this entry. Robert has led his team to victory at the annual Brass Monkey competition (for scouts and explorers) and has the gold medal around his neck to prove it.

I already knew that his team was in with a very good chance of winning this year but I never like to get my hopes up too much in case it somehow jinxes the outcome.

They were set to perform well in every category but even so in the end it all rested on Robert and whether or not his leadership skills would be sufficient and he proved without question that they were. This was the first time he had ever led a team and he excelled in his role of responsibility beyond most expectations.

Congratulations Robert, love you little brother!!!
