Sunday 21 March

Following a rainy Saturday, sunshine prevailed as we set off at 7:00 am for Milton Keynes. The CMFRC (Canadian Military Family Resource Centre) had planned a day of laser tag and paintball for the children of Canadian Military serving in the UK.

Alexander, on the left and another young man getting to know each other by not making eye contact and kicking stones around.


Walking on the way to the paintball bunkers and trenches. I am surprised that the sheep are free of any paint, they seemed perfect targets.


Maeghan and Louise in the entrance to the gaming area.


The rest area, surrounded by netting to prevent any stray paintballs from knocking over your cup of tea. Maeghan joined in the laser tag in the morning but opted out of the paintball.


The 'gang', including some adults, all kitted out for laser tag.



Alexander with a cyclops, i.e., a paintball to the middle of the face shield.



A shot to one of the less protected areas. This, says Maeghan, is why I did not join in the "fun"!


While the young people were trying to do as much damage as possible to each other, Louise, Jeff, and I checked out ASDA, a division of Walmart, and Costco. As you can see both are, again, very civilized in offering both groceries and beer, wine, and spirits.





After a delicious carvery and a pint of Batemans cask ale at the Greenman Pub in Swanbourne, we met Maeghan and Alexander, hosed them down, and headed for home after a successful day for all.
