A Holiday to Pax Lodge and Meeting the Queen...

London, a place with lots to see and do, and only a few hours to stop and visit in our imaginations.



Follow my leader to London Town, London Town, London Town, Follow my leader to London Town so early in the evening.



We visited Pax Lodge, one of the four World Centers, located in Hampstead.


Pax Lodge is close to Hampstead Heath, where we saw some funny bunnies....



To play funny bunnies you all crouch down like bunnies, with your hands on your head like rabbits ears. Then you must bounce over an obstacle course without putting your hands down on the ground, or even pulling them off your head. The Guide to achieve the whole course with her ears still up is the winner.

This game is good for your balance, fitness and problem solving skills, as it is natural to try and think up quite hard obstacles, and then figure out how to negotiate though them with your hands in place.

Next we made a cup of tea, and set the table for a visit from the Queen.



Many thanks to the Queen for visiting us, bringing Chilli Pepper her Royal Pooch and having a cup of tea.

The Guides presented her with some red and purple flowers and were on their best behaviour.

We learnt about the flags of Australia, the Union Jack and the WAGGGS World Flag.

And then we flew home, just in time for a Promise Ceremony.

And that is another story....
