Attention!

While we were walking around Whitchurch Fair with friends, Alexandra and her friend were approached by the Naval cadets and so our children were recruited to become cadets at TS Dauntless - Navy Cadets . They meet once week in Whitchurch (a 20 minute drive) and do all sorts fo things - marching, standing at ease, learning different skills, like tying knots, camouflage painting. They have been bowling with the cadets and there is talk of a trip on a Naval ship to the English channel !! Sarah may move over to the Marine cadets - same unit, though. They are loving wearing the uniform and participating in it all - must say, this took us quite by surprise:)   

We also attended an outdoor adventure day at Uphill reserve (Weston Super-Mare). Had a great day rock climbing, canoeing and orientering with other home-edders.

Both girls have started music lessons again. Alexandra has guitar lessons - she really enjoys her teacher, who makes her laugh and enthused.
Sarah has started playing the violin - she has a good ear and has already started trying out playing songs she likes.
