We have held several ‘My Life ….’ Meetings over the years and they are always popular. This time we had 2 of our members talk about aspects of their lives. First was Jenny; for many years she helped run Forest Schools, an educational organisation that provides young children the opportunity of outdoor experiences. This could take the form of nature trails, den building, outdoor cooking etc. From her talk, it was clear how children benefit from this experience in a uniquely holistic way. Next Lesley told of her role as a guide dog breeder; with 3 generations of dogs (Bella, Holly & Kiki) this can be a hectic role. However, with only Kiki now on the guide dog breeding programme, puppy time comes around less often; but when it does, normal life is on hold. Although not able to see the pups ‘live’, plenty of pictures and videos provided lots of ‘ooohs & ahhhhs’!
