'Lots of hype around this and it is on all the 'Best Summer Reads' lists. A grisly tale of a disastrous seafaring expedition in the 18th Century reconstructed in incredible detail and dramatised. Would probably be best read in a lighthouse or a cabin by the sea with the waves crashing and storms blowing rather than in a deckchair under the apple tree in the garden on a balmy July afternoon. Libby and Freddie both survived their camps this weekend, and Libby in particular really enjoyed it, which is great as she was reluctant to go for so long. I think she has the makings of a great scout, i hope she keeps it up. the fact that she is already helping out with the cubs is brilliant. While they were away, Helen and William came to Bentley Copse with me to scout the route for the hike next week when I'm taking the cubs away. William volunteered to come, which also made me very happy! A few things remain to get sorted for next week, but hopefully all will be ok. William is also really getting into playing football, we might need to look for a club for him for next year.
