I’m back! Did you miss me? I would have posted an entry sooner, only I have been very busy since I have returned from Pembroke. I stayed in a cottage in a place called Stackpole with three other Viva members and two staff members.
The cottage was very cosy with four bedrooms, a living room, a dining area and two bathrooms with a bath and shower. We had no T.V, that didn’t matter. We made our own entertainment by playing cards and board games, listening to music and reading books and magazines. The time passed very quickly.
In this residential we learnt the Rights of a Child, the Importance of Working Together and Confidence Building. I found these workshops interesting. Some media students filmed what went on over the three days to make a DVD, and I am on it briefly.
On Tuesday evening, we watched the Viva Pantomime 2006 “Cinderella”. It was hilarious watching it back on a laptop. We raised £240 by putting on the pantomime. I have ordered a DVD of the show to watch. My family are excited to watch it, as some of them were not able to attend on the night. A few of the staff members are going on a trek to Peru to raise £250,000 for the charity.
I had a fabulous time in Pembroke. It was nice to have a short break away from home, but it’s always nice to be back.
I shall spend the rest of the day going through my sidebar catching up on Journal entries I have missed. Then I will be watching the rugby match Wales vs. France. A few of my relations have gone to Paris to watch the match. We haven’t won a single game yet this season, so fingers crossed the Welsh team will win.
Have a great weekend.

Glad you had a good time Leigh ~ the Cottage you stayed in sounds nice ~ and it must have been good playing games instead of watching TV ~ wish the staff good luck on their trip to Peru and raising so much cash ~ Hope Wales does well against France will keep my fingers crossed for them ~ Ally
Good to have you back. I imagine it was sort of weird not having a TV. We are all so hooked on our electronic gadgets. I find I have my TV on just for the noise...I'm not even watching it. Well, I hope Wales kicks the stuffings out of France today. How nice it would be for Wales to have a big win. Enjoy the game...Linda in Washington state
Sounds like you had a good time, and I can only imagine what watching that pantomine back on the laptop must've been like, lol. I hope things are going well with you, and I promise that I am desperately trying to catch up with everyone!
Have a good weekend!
