The treasure hunt was very successful, I planned the whole thing myself, I was very proud of me for doing it; most times I’d be asked and then forget about it two days later. This was different, though. I planned a route, I made clues, and I arranged the time and did up the posters. On the day (last Monday), 32 families showed up to take part. It was way more successful than I dared hope for, it was wonderful. I was proud of myself that day.
The abseiling was for charity, down the side of a castle in our town. It was a bit sudden, I kind of just showed up without having seen anyone else do it, and thought I’d try my luck and see if I was allowed. Well, it paid off and 10 minutes later, I was hanging off the side of the castle. It was such an experience. I was trembling for ages after with adrenaline, but it was completely worth it.

The table quiz was all for fun, there was a coordinated one for all the pubs in town and everyone in any given pub was a team. So, someone called out the questions, the pub would give answers and then vote on the most likely one. It was a lot of fun although the pub I was representing came last!
The party wasn’t in aid of anything, just a random gathering, we had a barbeque in the rain, we ate, we talked, we drank and we laughed (and even danced a little). It was amazing, as any time spent with my friends is.
Also, I was told that I definitely have accommodation for my imminent move to Scotland! So, I just have to pay for that and everything is in place for it. I am really excited, it’s such an amazing opportunity I’ve been given. There’s not really much else I can say about it!
I’ve been given an opportunity to see Amanda Palmer play live in London in a church on September 11th (although hopefully I can change it to the 12th). For those of you who haven’t heard of her, go here:
Abseiling looks awesome ! Well done !
