From the 5th November until the 3rd December, lockdown 12 was enforced for England, so everything was cancelled again, apart from School this time as the Government wanted education to keep going.  Thank goodness for that!!!  However, it meant all clubs outside of school, which had only really started up again, were stopped, inc football, Beavers, Cubs and swimming lessons.  So we were again stuck at home and only allowed out for essential shopping and for some exercise.  The restrictions weren’t quite as severe as earlier in the year but the Government had to do something as deaths and hospital admissions were spiking again and we subsequently had a second spike of Covid-19.  So we were very lucky to go away for my 40th birthday weekend!!  Oh well!!

For the final Beavers session of the term, they put together a Christmas party and quiz (with the help of Kelly as she on the Beavers ‘committee’ now!). It was a fun couple of hours and Aaron enjoyed the evening with is Beaver friends. We all went to the event as we had entered the quiz, but we didn’t win unfortunately. However, we did win a £25 off voucher for a Nerf party from the raffle! The boys took some of their money and they all bought some hot chocolate and marshmallow reindeer cones, and also some reindeer food to sprinkle on to our front steps on Christmas Eve. There was loads left over after so we had some more for free as well. We didn’t manage to buy the wooden Christmas tree that Aaron and I had painted a few weeks ago unfortunately, as another family got in there first.  We stayed behind after to help clean and tidy up but we all had an enjoyable evening and all the money raised is going to be put straight back in to the Beavers kitty for events next term, which is excellent!
