Skeet House
Just come back from a really fantastic weekend at Skeet House. A big thank you to Karen Kemp for organising it. We all had a great time doing many things.
'What is Skeet House?' many people ask. Well in the words of Howard Robinson. 'It is a big derelict house; paint peeling off the walls; no television; sit around in a room all day on the most uncomfotable furniture; sometimes talk; occassionally someone gets up to make a cup of tea; sleep in uncomfortable beds in a room with other people who snore and fart. Lay the tables; wash up afterwards'. Couldn't really sell that in a holiday brochure but we love it there and the kids love it there.

The weather cheered up and we went outside to play some games.

Although we had to wash up we enjoyed mealtimes.
Lunchtime
After lunch we had fun with the parachute.

Later in the evening the children organised a talent show-boy what talent. The audience were glued to their seats!
