A Visit to Dower House

We went on a visit to Dower House.  It's very close to where we meet and we had a great night out doing a walking tour of Corstorphine and then looking at the archives.

If you are local or come on a visit nearby I'd definitely recommend a visit here on a Wednesday morning or Saturday Morning.

Planting Bulbs, Bird Food and Lend a Hand

This week we made bird food for the birds, Except this time we forgot the saucepan, so we had to just soften the lard and mix in the bird seed.  The girls did not like the smell of the lard.

Tawny Owl planted bulbs with the girls.  There seemed to be a lot of soil on the floor after that activity.  They liked decorating the plant pots.

Then they cut out handprints and had to make promises to go on our Brownie Notice Board.  They took a while over this.

We then did campfire songs which they seemed to enjoy as we've not had time recently to fit some in.

We have a local trip out next week.

It's A New Term

Our numbers have dropped with a few moving house.  We've been back a few weeks now.  We've concentrated on the cooks badges this short while and will be doing the seasons badges too.

We may be small in number but a good term is what we have.

We have booked to go to the Panto this year for our christmas outing.

I'm starting to look at my going away scheme too.

I've added some photo's from the girls cooking badge.
