Finished!

[smallhobbit]

Last week at Brownies they had fun with water games and enjoyed getting wet.

This week we held a party, firstly to celebrate 1st Kingsway Brownies tenth birthday.  Which was, in fact, in October 2020, but had been delayed until we could really celebrate.  So there were party games and party snacks and cakes.

Also it was to celebrate my retirement as a unit leader.  What was particularly nice was that some of our ex-Brownies, who have gone onto Guides also joined us, and it was lovely to see them again.  It's hard to believe I've been with the unit for 11 years, and before that I've been guiding for about another 8 years.

It was a lovely way to finish.  I have absolutely no regrets, and will be staying in touch.

I was delighted to receive flowers and a vase from the unit:



and also flowers and a vase from the district:

I'm glad you could retire on such a high note. It's wonderful that some of the ex-Brownies joined in the 10th anniversary celebration and your retirement party. Both of the flower arrangements that you received are absolutely beautiful and a fitting tribute to you after all of the tireless work you put into being a unit leader, not to mention your years of involvement before that. I hope you enjoy having some extra time to yourself. I know you'll put it to good use! :-D

Thank you very much. Yes, it was a great way to finish, and particularly good to see the ex-Brownies. I'm glad I'm not losing all contact and we shall see what happens. In the meantime I will certainly enjoy not having the regular evening commitment.
