The Alternative Guider's Saturday Night!

Kelloggsville is better know as Barn Owl in my life! Guiders Saturday Night is how she spent last weekend.

This photo shows how I spent the same Saturday night!!

I was fortunate enough to go to the Centenary Camp at Harewood House last year and met some fantastic people - yes they are in the phonebox!

We have all kept in contact via Facebook and have talked a lot about getting together - last weekend was the first time we had been able to all get the time to do it - although one of the crowd was unable to make it at the last minute :(

6 of us made the convoluted trip to Stratford-upon-Avon on Saturday afternoon/early evening and one even brought along Centenary Bear which she bought at Harewood. He was lucky to travel with us for the next 24 hours!

Lots of girly talk, laughter, food and of course alcohol later we left the pub at kicking out time and decided to see the sights of Stratford by night! Centenary Bear got to visit lots of areas too and we had great fun trying to find a different place each time!



 
                


We of course went back in the daytime and behaved much more respectively!

We all had a fantastic time and plan to meet up much sooner this time rather than leave it for 15 months!

The plan is to meet up in the Spring but maybe we may be able to meet up for Thinking Day in London -maybe even be lucky enough to get tickets to to Westminster Abby for the service - fingers crossed.

Yet again it  makes me realise how much Guiding has given to me and how lucky I am to have met so many people while travelling along the great Guiding highway!
