Do You Wanna Build a Snowman?

Last Scout meeting of the year, and Louis and the Scouts made "snowmen" by wrapping their colleagues in toilet paper. Somewhere under there, there is another Scout.

Rule Britannia

Another Scouting outing, this time to the Royal Yacht Britannia. We had the standard tour, but after hours (thanks to one of the Scout Leaders working there) and thus exclusive access with nobody else around. Nosing around towards the end of the tour, I asked about the engine room and got a personal behind-the-scenes tour with my nostrils full of the smell of engine oil and Brasso.

On The Wall

Hot on the heels of our recent trip to Alien Bloc, we had a scouting outing to Eden Rock, where Louis and the other scouts stretched their bouldering skills.

A Scouting Outing

I've been helping out with Scouts. This was my first Scout camp at Nineacres in Fife. I rode there on my bike. Here's one picture with Louis in it, enjoying the campfire.

May It Be

The merry month of May, condensed into a few snaps. We had a visit from Catherine & Matt and family, we took them to Cramond Island to wallow in the mud, and up Arthur's Seat to brave the howling gales. Louis' Scouting activities included fire starting, selling popcorn at the school fair to raise funds for Ireland, and an overnight camp at Fordell Firs. Holly went rock climbing at Blackford Quarry with the school, and I popped round at lunchtime to say hello. Last but by no means least, the Davidsons Mains Primary School Choir (featuring one Louis Millar) won the regional finals of the Primary Schools Glee Challenge! On to the National finals in Perth!
