I was wondering today, why it is that in the UK (unlike most of the rest of the world) the two parts of the Scout and Guide Movement haven't merged. In Northleach, we have Rainbows and Beavers, Brownies and Cubs, Guides and Scouts, however, we don't really have enough leaders to run all six groups. But if the groups merged we would have enough leaders (and enough children). It really does make a lot of sense.

Why is it that One Tree Hill has become so dark this season, I like US teen dramas because they are easy going, this isn't.

I have survived one week of work. I have a little cough and I am knackered, but it's okay. Tom's last day is tomorrow and we're taking him out for lunch. I have a little present for him.

Happy Birthday the Guide Association, its 100 years since girls gate crashed a Scout Association rally at crystal palace.

We provide a unique girl-only space... and have done so for 100 years!
We promote equality and diversity... and have done so for 100 years!
We're relevant to today's girls... and have been for 100 years!
We give girls and young women a voice... and have done so for 100 years
