OK, so I spent the weekend in the company of 18 six to eight year olds, and their parents (largely Dads, just me and one other Mum - glad you were there, Kathy!)
Son number 2 is a Beaver, and Hebden Hey was the destination for the annual weekend away. Son number 1 is a cub and they were camped in the next field.
Oh joy - cloudbursts on Friday evening, though thankfully by Saturday the weather had improved to only occasional heavy showers. Mud was the order of the day, but the kids loved it, cleaning off (sort of....) in the river after a muddy walk which also involved lots of icecream and rabbit poo collecting.
Sleep was in short supply - woken at 2am, 5am and 6am by excited children, and a couple of them fell out of bed (the top bunk, but luckily no injuries...)
So now I'm knackered, so are they, and work/school will be a drag tomorrow - but it was fun,and no doubt we'll do it all again next year!
