Many people thought I was mad bringing 14 and 15 year old girls to a muddy farm but I think you helped me prove them wrong! <BR/> <BR/>A couple of highlights for me : the Times journalist asked one of our girls what they knew about the place before they came. <BR/> <BR/>We deliberately had not told them the story as I knew it would be so much better coming from you! <BR/> <BR/>The girl said "My teacher told me something amazing had happened here" He asked what did she think now and she said her teacher was absolutely right (not often we hear that) !!! <BR/> <BR/>I thought that was a lovely quote! <BR/> <BR/>Later in the woods someone sidled up to me and said "I have always wanted to be round a campfire - my family never do stuff like this ........"<BR/> <BR/>That sums up what I wanted to achieve. <BR/> <BR/>I am absolutely sure we will be back if you will have us!! <BR/> <BR/>Many thanks again <BR/>Jo, Newport Girls High School.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20335502.post-47941761910581763492007-07-13T14:55:00.000+01:002007-07-13T14:55:00.000+01:00Just to say a massive thanks for Tuesday.

It all worked out so well. I was really buzzing yesterday, especially when i got back home.
