Gorgeous day canoeing in Telford.
Day 11 Santa - planning day 2

It's been a long day, even for Santa.

There has been a lot of scratching of the head, with logistics and those good old internet glitches!

If only he hadn't upgraded his phone to the latest software - Grrrrr!

Time for a good old cup of tea!
Day 10 - Santa and the Admin - Rostering and Operations!

Santa is a little behind with his letters and lists this week, due to the impromptu driving test on Wednesday.

He has spent the day busily taking video calls, TEAM meetings with the elves and making sure the Reindeer are resting, in readiness for their favourite night of the year!
Day 9 Santa on his driving test!

No wonder the instructor was looking pale when Santa arrived back from his driving test!
Day 8 - Santa - PCV Category D1 test!

After the maintenance checks yesterday, we sent Santa for his PCV Category D1 test.

We forgot to tell Santa, he didn't need to use his magic dust on the mini buses! We had a very pale looking driving instructor after Santa's antics.

Footage will be posted tomorrow!
Day 7 Santa - Maintenance Checks

Santa called Al to assist him with a routine maintenance check on the sleigh !

Santa is planning on a test drive later tonight.

We think it’s a bit windy for him!
Day 6 - Santa’s Navigation Skill Training

We pointed Santa in the right direction by helping him with his map and compass skills.
Day 5 - Santa - its a balancing act!

Santa revisited the low ropes today and we were amazed with the progress he has made since the beginning of the week.

Next on Santa's training list is a refresher on map reading and orienteering!
Day 4 - Santa's Endurance training with the A team.

Santa spotted the canoes - and within a flash we were at Jackfield!

Pure paddle power magic! He has now named one Rudolf 2!

Windmill Primary School Holiday Club had a great 3 day residential at the Longmynd Adventure Camp this week. There were beds to make, tables to set, drying up crockery and cutlery and sweeping up to be done over the 3 days for everyone! Day 1 included team challenges, bouldering, archery and a short countryside walk. Day 2 was a lovely walk up the Longmynd and splashing down Minton Batch. Day 3 concluded with packing up and some indoor climbing. Really well done, everyone should sleep well ... especially the teachers!

Thich Nhat Hanh. Love letter to the Earth 2012

We tend to think of human beings as falling into two groups: those who are similar to us and those who are different. We allow political boundaries to obscure our interconnectedness. What we often refer to as patriotism is actually a barrier that prevents us from seeing that we’re all children of the same mother. Every country calls its nation a motherland or a fatherland. Every country tries to show how it loves its mother. But in doing so, each country is contributing to the destruction of our larger mother, our collective mother, the earth. In focusing on our human made boundaries, we forget that we are co-responsible for the whole planet.

When we see that we are all children of the same mother, we will naturally want to cultivate and strengthen our sense of being part of one large family. When we speak of protecting our planet, we often speak of finding new technologies. But without real community, technology may be even more destructive than constructive. Real community, built with our practice of mindfulness, enables us to act together. When we can communicate with ourselves and with the earth, we can communicate with others more easily.

Every one of us, regardless of nationality or religious faith, can experience a feeling of admiration and love when we see the beauty of the Earth and the beauty of the cosmos. This feeling of love and admiration has the power to unite the citizens of the earth and remove all separation and discrimination. Caring about the environment is not an obligation, but a matter of personal and collective happiness and survival. We will survive and thrive together with our Mother Earth, or we will not survive at all.

Thich Nhat Hanh. Love letter to the Earth 2012 (Citizens of the Earth p 81-83)

Hi Everyone a reminder about disposing of pumpkins after 🎃 Halloween Night . Please do NOT put these on the ground for 🦔🦔Hedgehogs to eat in Gardens, Parks and Greenspaces. Pumpkin acts as a laxative and will cause hedgehogs to have serious diarrhoea and dehydration. At this time of year it is vital that hedgehogs put on as much weight as possible to give them the best chance of surviving winter and hibernation. ❤️🦔 Help our prickly friends and local wildlife charities who help look after sick and injured hogs.

The British Hedgehog Preservation Society suggest hanging your pumpkins in trees to allow birds and squirrels to eat the fruit.

❤️🦔🦔🦔
