A great view from Princes Street gardens with the castle in the background, looking very imposing. Phil looking almost as imposing!

Pot of tea

Posted on 23 Oct 2016 by Tina

We are at Edinburgh Castle. Lots to see, of varying interest to each of us. Having wandered around quite a bit of it, we’ve stopped for a pot of tea. Cute little milk bottle…
Once rested, we’ll see the rest of the castle.

The view from my bed…

The bit out of the window varies, but you get the idea.

Birmingham library

The views of Birmingham from the library are amazing. And you can see the hills in the distance.

The gardens on the top floor are stunning – full of herbs, which seems fitting for a town rooted in industry.

Jack Petchey Award

Slightly bemused, but thrilled to be nominated, I went this evening to receive a Jack Petchey Award for being a thoroughly good egg. Quite a swish certificate! Now to apply for the grant to share with the Guides…

Sunday’s activities

Posted on 4 Sep 2016 by Tina

Power cut at 4:30am set off the alarm in the shop. Most people slept through it, but not me, sadly. There was no Wi-Fi for the first part of the morning.

The Guides did low ropes and power fan this morning. This involves climbing up a tall pole then throwing yourself off. A bit like a vertical zip wire. No photos because the light was behind them so it would just be silhouettes.
