*Is very proud*
I know I moan like buggery about my brownies sometimes but tonight they made me so proud.
I arranged to have a guest speaker come and talk to the girls. She was from a local wildlife rescue called Secret World and she brought some animals with her. We had a flightless bat called Ned, a hedgehog who wasn't far off being released back to the wild, a corn snake called Victor (who spent a large chunk of the evening wrapped around my arms) and Zazzle the Barn Owl.
My mum had had them visit the Guides but Guides are older and I was a bit worried the girls would get silly but the Brownies were better behaved than I'd ever seen them. Our speaker Debbie was lovely and even said how good they were. Next week, I fully intend to tell them how proud of them I am.
On a similar note, I'm going to Guernsey with the Guides this summer (God help us all!). I'm really looking forward to it now.
