The repeat of Swansea mud from last year, should be a remote thing assigned to history, for this year at least. Weather forcasters, but is Dave one of them(!?), are predicting better weather for this year…
…except for one small part of Cornwall.
Just had a newsletter from AvonScouts, I feel privelidged indeed:
It was with great sadness that our most regarded Scout leader Daisy was shot today in front of a crowd of hundreds. Her crime? Originally was witchcraft, cries of she’s a witch rung out around Caldicot Castle, but alas, her fate lay in the hands of being a licentious woman. She was quickly hunted down, arrested and put hastily on trial. Her exposed feet and ankles up to her knees had already sealed her fate. She was to face the firing squad.
And so it was, as the shots echoed around Caldicot Castle, she fell dramatically and Shakespearanly (!?) to her death and all the while Jessica was enjoying the playpark, unaware of Daisy’s demise.
Two strapping young lads sauntered across to the limp body and dragged it off to lay peacefully to rest.
Mor photos can be witnessed here.
I must congratulate Dan and Rachel in advance.
You see, a few of us Scout Leaders got kitted out in our clobber yesterday. How smart did we look! Quite impressive collection of Socut Leaders in one place all with clothes that fit properly for a change!! And none of it creased by the addition of a tent…
On top of that I hear other leadery types have invested in new suits and new outfits. Can’t wait to get a photo of everyone!
Huge thanks to everyone who swam, supported or whatever last night at Henbury. Well done to 90th Troop who romped home in 1st and 2nd place. Final results for the 13 teams were:

Who were you all!? Was Christmas telly really that uninteresting!? Wallace and Gromit was rather good, but then I suppose it was only on for half an hour. I am supremely impressed with your dedication to the cause. Well done. Remember:
“Snowflakes are one of nature’s most fragile things, but look what they can do when they stick together”
So ~ Did anyone get any Scouty presents!? Walking boots… thick socks… new uniform… better Scout Troop ??? Have a peaceful new year everyone.
Ps. Is anyone else getting addicted to that new game on the website games page!? I keep ending up with a long line of odd ones along the bottom…
Pps. Just read a fascinating fact: did you know that termites fart more methane into the atmosphere than any other creature.
Ppps. Still annoyed by these adverts all over the place…
