Madi worked out that today she is 7 1/2, which apparently requires a half-birthday cake! I agreed on the condition that she helped make it, and she agreed provided it was Hello Kitty!
Over the past week she has been tree planting with Sherwood Forest Trust...
and attended a tree-themed day at Cottam Power Station...
...where we learnt about and made our own 'Green Man' using moss, leaves and berries collected from the nature reserve...
...talked about what lives in the branches, trees and roots of trees...
...found out about tree-dressing around the world...
...and decorated a tree with our own wishes for the world and traditional Scottish 'clooties'.

She has also managed to fit in plenty of sport this week, with an extra swimming session to be tested on her Brownie Swimmer Badge (thank you Julie!) which she passed 'with flying colours', to add to the Dancer Badge from last week.Meanwhile, JK has been on a retreat at The Briars with school. As usual it has been difficult to get out of him what they have been up to, but it seems to have included designing an anti-knives t-shirt, writing prayers, and going on some long walks.
Tonight, he is on another long walk- this time the 21st Annual NESST (Nottinghamshire Emergency Scout Support Team) Challenge Walk, hoping to cover 18 miles around Walesby.
