Easter Special

A fortnight ago Rosie and Rachel organised an egg hunt around Arthur’s Seat. They used easter as an excuse, but really it was all about the chocolate. Here is what Rosie had to write about the day:

“Rosie and Rachel put on a smashing great show. Starting in the morning with egg painting wonderful designs were to behold upon many a shell. Some keenly then went on to hunt eggs while others chose breakfast (at about 2pm? We’ll call it brunch). Finally when all of the Easter Bunny’s leavings had been found (without any sort of assistance ever), we rolled. It was epic. The eggs turned fast and chaotic. No one really knew which was theirs untill they found the remains. And yet, two had not completely smashed. And so what choice was there? But to ROLL AGAIN. The smaller egg one. A few went for a walk. Then pub. Then home. Happy Easter.”

Recap from 16th March at Harmeny

Here it is, this week from Cameron:

“We went out to Harmeny school which is in Balerno. It’s a boarding school for chiden with ‘complex Social Emotional and Behavioural Needs’. They have been setting up a garden which we have been helping with, on this project, we did a variety of tasks including: making a cold box, clearing a slope of soil and making a retaining wall out of tyres, turning compost, weeding and spreading manure on a veg patch, and attaching wooden frames for climbing plants to the wall of the shed. This one is always a fantastic project, since the impact the work each person has done is obvious and it’s nice to be able to help make the school nice for the kids  :)”

Unfortunately no pictures for this one, but there are from yesterday – so you can look forward to that!

Edit: We now have pictures from the project (from Josephine): Full Gallery
