For ten years now we have been told that the Tithebarn project would be the best thing since sliced bread for Preston, with a complete redesign of the City Centre. First it was going to be a show piece for the 2012 Preston Guild – then there was going to be a delay and we [...]

What sex is Pebbles?
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged Brownie Bears on September 24, 2009 | 1 Comment »
This is certainly going to be a big issue over the coming weeks. Pebbles is wearing what looks like Brownie uniform but no trousers! If Pebbles is really a Brownie then why has it not been told to wear the correct uniform at all times. On the other hand, as I believe, Pebbles is not [...]

This old Church Mouse hasn’t had much to say about the view from the pew recently. Some exciting things are happening, or at least they will be exciting if they happen. Rather like the Tithebarn Project in Preston we are in danger of getting all our kicks from talking about what we could do but [...]
Pebbles

I may have mentioned this before but when I went away on holiday to North Berwick, which is close to Edinburgh, I was given Pebbles to look after. Who or what is Pebbles? you might ask. Well this takes us back to the Brownies again. Pebbles is a little well behaved bear which is given [...]
Christmas!

It is hard to believe that Christmas is just around the corner. I am definitely one of those people who think that having Christmas cards in shops in September is far too early. Having said that though I am currently working on the Christmas card which is delivered to all the houses in our village. [...]
What next ?

Went to Brownies last night. We had a teddy bear’s picnic outside then we went back inside and proceeded to smash up a Pinata. The girls wielded a large stick with considerable venom and destroyed the pinata fairly comprehensively. The contents were then shared out amongst the Brownies. At this point the Brownies showed an [...]
Guiding Centenary Launch

We arrived at Myerscough College International Arena in good time and were directed into a large parking area. We got our girls off and into the entrance where we were quickly directed through the correct door into the arena. Inside was a sea of pink Centenary tops and musical entertainment to keep everyone happy.
We were shown [...]
Guiding Centenary – The big day
Posted in brownies, tagged brownies, Guiding Centenary on September 6, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Well here we are - the day has arrived at last. We seem to have been preparing for this for months. The show lasts for about two hours but our bit lasts exactly sixty seconds! It will have been worth it though because it is very unlikely that anyone taking part in this event will [...]
When to tell and when not to tell.

I had a call from my ex-work colleague this morning to say that he had changed the tube in the kitchen light but it still wouldn’t work and there was no sign of a starter. I volunteered to go along and fix the problem and my girlfriend came along with me. I sorted out the [...]
Guiding Centenary again!

Went this morning to the venue for the Centenary event to deliver our props, namely the ten foot high model of Guiding Headquarters. I had been told that it would hold 4000 people yet my research on the internet only suggested about 400 so I was not quite sure what to expect when I arrived. [...]
