Guiding Friendship and Fun

There’s nothing quite like Guiding friendships, they stretch across the years and miles.

Ann and I met a group of eight Canadian Guide leaders in 2008 when we went to Our Cabana, the Girlguiding World Centre in Mexico. We’ve been friends ever since. We’ve met up with some of them on three occasions in the UK, but this was our first visit to see them on their home turf. Sadly, they lost Ruby a few years ago, but the other seven are still as full of fun as they were 17 years ago.

After a ‘bring and share’ meal at June’s home, accompanied by much reminiscence and frivolity, we joined them for pumpkin crafts at their Trefoil Guild meeting.

Summer and Racheal were welcomed with open arms, and much interest in their gap year adventures.

We were pleased with our creations, but there wasn’t space to pack them in our luggage, so our Airbnb gained some additional Thanksgiving decorations.
