This post is a bit of a milestone in Josh, Brandon and Holly's blog as it is the 1500th post. I think thats quite some achievement consider where this blog originated from all that time ago. So here we are almost 10 years on with 11-12 hardback A4 books and thousands upon thousands of pictures.
I tried racking my brains for ages to think of something unique and special for the 1500th blog but nothing sprung to mind. We have just got back from a fab holiday in the Isle of Wight and I have loads of pictures and stories to blog about from that. But before I get in to the holiday blogs I thought the 1500th will simply be a quick post with an update on Brandon and boxing!
Just before we went on holiday Brandon started the Billericay and Wickford Boxing Club summer camp as his best friend Brett goes. We had make a quick trip to the boxing shop to get him some hand wraps and a cup, fortunately he already had a gum shield from karate. Anyway he really likes the boxing and the club facilities look amazing. They obviously do a lot of conditioning and fitness work which is great. Tina seems really against it but I think its good for Brandon and at his age it is only semi contact so its not like he is getting smashed in the head week in and week out. He is currently on a wait list for the proper club but if he does well in the summer club then hopefully they will bump him up the list. The only thing Brandon seems to be struggling with at the moment is switching off from what he has learnt from karate which is already in his muscle memory.
