Sunday, Sunday

This afternoon, a Scottish-kilted, tuneful, unisex, Hong Kong Chinese bagpipe band briskly marched up and down the waterfront, followed by disciplined ranks of crisply turned out Boy and Girl Scouts.

That's not all. There followed a red-jacketed brass band that preceded rows of young male and female Sea Scouts, who looked like they had just walked off a ship belonging to Her Majesty's Royal Navy. Sadly, there was no sousaphone in the ranks of the band.

More? You bet. A purple-jacketed Ruritanian-style silver band led thirty or so uniformed junior members of the St. John's Ambulance Brigade.

The whole shebang finally marched through the village square on its way to more jollies at the playground of the Rural Committee's Integrated Youth Centre, which overlooks the beach.

No photos, though. No camera.
