Our weekend in York!

              
Almost a year from our first application,
Once again time for another train station!
Time for 3rd briefing, in Wharram Le Street,
So much excitement, we can't wait to meet!

Arriving in York, get to know a new City,
Alexandra, our host, in a village so pretty.
Tour of the house, and yum, time for dinner,
Casserole, mash- always a winner!


We met our team Mascot, beautiful boy!
Cuddles and fuss for us all to enjoy.
Catch up and chat, then ready for sleep,
The comfort! No need to try to count sheep.


Early breakfast, so much to do!
21 tasks we must make our way through,
Unboxing uniform and 10 minute training,
All different, and fabulous ways of explaining!


 A most special guest, from Go for GOLD
Inspiring Guiding tales were told,
Never forget, what we are achieving,
In moments of doubt, keep on believing.

Lunchtime cheeseboard summons the crew,
A pit stop to refuel, admire the view.
Session plan blitz-attack, ideas are flowing,
So much to share, so much worth knowing!

Embedding leadership as a key theme,
Now innovate ways to boost self-esteem.
Well-being catch up, we're stronger together,
From strangers to sisters, bonded forever.




So much completed, out to the Fire,
BBQ treats, spirits couldn't be higher,
A game of Croquet before citrus tart,
Learning, laughing, GOLD love in our heart!


Laughter all evening, then darkening skies,
Early birds ready to soon rest their eyes,
Sleepover chats, then breakfast once more,
Girlguiding resources we need to explore!

Dividing up homework, Flesh on the bone,
Finding our flow, we're all in the zone!
Vegetable curry and ice cream for pud,
Trash and treasure, to reflect on what's good!


Beautiful gifts, so thoughtful, unique,
Small in size, great volumes they speak,
 Next time we meet, will be the big day,
But we've nothing to fear, It'll all be Croquet!

Journeying home, goodbye to the team,
With lots of GOLD Love, from Sophie Sunbeam.x
