Jubilee Scout Camp Urswick 2012

Up the lane to Scout camp




  • Walking up frothy country lanes lined with Cow parsley to join Scout camp.
  • Cooking bread dough wrapped round sticks over the campfire
  • Taking in the sights and sounds of the country this Jubilee weekend and appreciating the beautiful area we live in and the opportunities available to my children.
Learning to use a saw

Baby Magpie


Finding a baby Magpie with a broken leg in the hen enclosure and providing food and water.
Seeing five rabbits in the field as I walked the dogs. I haven't seen so many rabbits at once for years!
Laughing at our puppy as he hid in the hollows on the beach and then popped his head up!

Jubilee Hi jinks!


  • The bunting is out in the village and just like the seven dwarfs (only there are four of us) the children and I trudge up and down the village with wheely bins full of hedge trimmings following a village spruce up!
  • The children celebrate at a village Jubilee party and each receives a Diamond Jubilee medal made out of Burlington Slate.
  • Mums gather round for a chat as the party takes place in a big marquee in the park next to the village Church.
