Very quiet here - people must be going off on holiday soon on the sunny side - I'm off to Scout camp in a couple of weeks - oh joy - we are off to Oxford
Nothing planned as yet. I must admit the BG summer resorts don't really appeal, too commercialised for me. We may pop over to France at some point. We can get to Dover or Folkestone in about an hour so quite easy to pop across.

I'm taking 8 boys aged between 10 and 14 - not too arduous... They are told the times for activities that are booked for them and the rest of the day is theirs...
Easy way of doing things - might spend some time doing bivouacs with them, making a mud oven etc.
Are you off to Youlbury by any chance Judith? We were there in May and it was freezing but you should be luckier in the main school holidays.

Our camp the other weekend was great fun and the weather was just right. Enjoy!
Yes - Youlbury it is - we are right in the back corner with one of the buildings so that we have proper cooking facilities - cheating I know, but worth it...
We've got the beavers coming down for a 24 hour stay too so they can either stay in tents or in the hut
