Genuinely so proud!

I have some big news!

The roundabout at the top of Hild and Bede bank in Durham City centre has THIS on show!

Now, how fabulous is that? It makes me beam horrendously every time we drive past it! Waving, shouting, smiling... you name it, I display it because I'm so happy that Durham is recognising and promoting our fantastic organisation that is GirlGuiding!

It was our last full group (minus Grace, sad face) meeting last night before we all set off for Canada, and we discussed a few (LOTS) of things.
I wanted to take some pictures of us having discussions and chocolate fondue... alas, we had our faces full of marshmallows and the swing of the meeting didn't really lend itself to stopping and taking pictures!

I've got some swaps sorted hopefully... but I'm still pondering what to make/do/if I should print some labels etc.
This week and the subsequent weeks are really looking busy for me, and everyone else, but now that my exams are over, I'll hopefully have some pockets of time to organise/sort more things regarding this fabulous trip! I'll also be corresponding with one of our leaders, Jenny, regarding our Cultural presentation thing-y-mah-whatsit for the 15th July, and man, we have some excellent ideas in the pipeline XD

Most of all, I'm excited to be celebrating my 17th Birthday whilst we're in Canada.
Exactly a month from today infact! ^___^
Hopefully it'll be full of awesome, although maybe not full of the blenderized cake Rachel suggested, however sweet the vlogbrothers' reference is :P

Stay adventurous,
Haze

  10. Hey, I am friends with Ashley from the squirrel rebellion. Just thought I would comment. Girl guiding sounds like 100 times more fun than girl scouts here in the States. :) I hope you have a wonderful time in Canada!

  13. You are going to have such a good time when you get there! I hope you get picked for the blog because you deserve it tenfold. Woah. Your birthday is in a month and I still haven't sent your damn package with your birthday present from last year.

    It's kind of insane how long we've known each other. It doesn't seem like that long ago. (:

    Remember my failed attempt at a stop motion in your video? Haha, I even had computer problems back then. Silly timing xD

    Oh well, Canadia, yes, CANADIA, shall be wonderous. Make sure you pet like a moose and send out a shout out to the lovely country of Quebec.

    I need to join a summer camp asap, no?

    Anyway, loves, hugs, kisses, and cuddles xx
