After eventually persuading the children that sleep was a very necessary requirement if they were to enjoy the next day, we all managed to settle down with the sound of rain still beating against the windows.
But thankfully the sun has arrived today to drive away those rain clouds, it might not stay for long- but it is most certainly welcome.
The seagulls and rabbits that frequent the grounds have been observing us from a distance, the gulls certainly on the look out for any child wiling to share anything remotely food like!
Breakfast has been enjoyed and the second visit to the tuck shop has been endured - not by the children but by those who have to supervise and give advice on what might be a good idea to spend their money on and what most certainly isn't - fizzy drinks are not on the shopping agenda for sure!
We are now embarking on the first of our activities. Abseiling, fencing and bouldering are on for this morning. So lots of new and exciting experiences for all.
