Tuesday's Events!!!

Another early rise, not wanting to release our hold on the bed or hot water bottles! The sun soon came out and warmed us up even though it was a little bit colder than yesterday. The groups switched around performing the different tasks. The pre-schoolers were spoiled with fancy dress costumes, bubbles and face paint and loved stealing cameras to remember the fun they were having. After a couple of hours of hard work the whole group visited the secondary school in Mamesbury the nearest large town. The school specialises in five art forms; dance, music, drama, visual arts and design. We were treated to a tour of the different classrooms [which were far far nicer than ours!!] and met some of the school children all smartly dressed in marroon uniforms, which took great pleasure in laughing at us as we disturbed their lessons. we then got to watch one of the dance students performances which was fantastic........too bad Soph G. couldn't see it as she was poorly. After visiting the South African supermarket and buying far too much chocolate and sweets , we all returned to the trust for a scrumptious meal of salad and quiche. then we were treated to cakes and scones in between all of our hard work!!! In our free time before dinner some were mad enough to go into the FREEZING cold lake (for the benefit of Mr. Fowles.....life guards!!) swimming...most relaxed! Dinner was shared once again with the Youth in Construction who lived up to their wild reputation. The barn was filled with raucous song, dance and a lot of clapping! Even Mr griff was boogeying on down! As we are writing this we're giving you live feed of the ball room dancing.....as you can probably guess the welsh have no rhythm and are needing a crash course in how to dance!!!! As the days go on we are increasingly tired but having the time of our lives and looking forward to the next days activities!! BRING IT ON!!!
We shall keep you posted

Elspeth and Kate :D
