I would highly recommend these trips, if anyone is looking for something to do next weekend https://t.co/WOveBvFdqW

That's a day and a half catching up on Brownie admin. The REN will have to wait for another day #volunteer #Brownies #girlguiding

[Mandy (Dove) @CrafTEAtime]

I really shouldn't keep putting Brownie admin, because now it's turned into a mammoth task 🙄. It doesn't help that Guide leaders have done the same which means I have over a years worth of Gift Aid to sort too 😯🐝

Look what I got awarded tonight 😁❤ #volunteering #brownieleader

I'm organising a pond dipping event and have been buying some bits & bobs for it. When I went to pay I mentioned I was using the items for pond dipping, the cashier didn't have a clue what I was talking about 😯😥 so I explained it to her. She'd never heard of it before. So sad!

My District Commissioner randomly texted me today and said my Brownie Unit has a good reputation 😁. I've never really thought about it tbh, but it made my day!

And I'm all paper chained out 😴

@robbeckettcomic I always, no matter what time of day it is, have fresh water!

I think I earned some Brownie points at work today, for randomly taking in cake (for no reason whatsoever, other than having a fussy family). Someone's is loss another one's gain!

[Mandy (Dove) @CrafTEAtime]

I still love finding eggs shells in the garden #newlife #naturelover

A beautiful day today!

It's official, I'm a member of @Essexbells again after a 32 year gap 😯. I'm making up for lost time though and have recruited my youngest and my BiL #bellringing

[Mandy (Dove) @CrafTEAtime]

We've been loving going to the ringing school on a Saturday. I obviously talk about it too much as now nearly our whole tower goes 😯🤣 #rettendonrabble

[Mandy (Dove) @CrafTEAtime]

@Lisaivory Now that is a good idea! Any excuse 😬🤣

[Mandy (Dove) @CrafTEAtime]

I'm always slightly dubious taking a cake out of the oven if it's not slightly burnt 😯🤣 🤞

[Mandy (Dove) @CrafTEAtime]

Get involved! Bellringing is great fun and you make lts of new friends . It' good exercise for your brain too. #bellringing https://t.co/flnMmX3PrW

Since having #Covid a week or 2 ago I can't really smell anymore 😥 how long does this last? I've got a ginger cake in the oven, which I must be smelling amazing but I can't even slightly smell it 😥👃

[Mandy (Dove) @CrafTEAtime]

Happy World Thinking Day!

[Mandy (Dove) @CrafTEAtime]

I thoroughly enjoyed ringing school this morning. Whilst L attempted his first time at putting a bell up 💪. I had a first with playing with the simulator at ringing behind. It's odd relying on your ears only. #fun #bellringing 🔔
