Sauly

I’m excited to be taking Sauly on a little bushcraft weekend next month. We’re going to be learning how to make shelter and fire together. Like real men! LOL.

It’s to celebrate his tenth birthday. All being well I’m hoping to do something similar with all the grandweans when they reach that landmark. Male or female!

And Saul is the eldest.

Being the eldest is not something you choose, as I well know. It doesn’t guarantee you any extra respect. It shouldn’t really. After all, you didn’t get any choice in the matter.

But it does, sometimes, make you feel more responsible. Again, not really something that you should feel (you didn’t get any choice….etc) but it seems to come with the territory.

I know that Saul is a great brother and an excellent example to his younger siblings anyway. I hope they maintain their healthy relationships with each other for life. It’s not always a given by any means.

But it’s a great blessing to have, I think.
