19 Sep Aberdovey Day 2
The children slept well, the staff slept like newborns, the weather was inclement though the groups spirits were high!
Day 2 in Snowdonia looks like it will be an epic day of further adventure!
The children will be doused in goretex rather than suited and booted and though the sun may not shine the weather is warm and there is a palpable sense of excitement at the breakfast table.
The vista onto the estuary from the centre looks amazing!
Photos to follow as the day unfolds.
The children have been “getting on with it!”, such a fabulous British tradition, whatever the weather brings we just get on with it and with a smile on their faces. They’re having a great time!
The children have continued to battle the elements and being Ashmount children with that ever famous Growth Mindset ave conquered all challenges put before them – what a cohort of children!

Posted at 19:06h, 19 SeptemberHi Finn,
Just seen the photos from today and glad to see you’re still alive! Well done for surviving the many adventures you are no doubt enduring? Haha. Most exciting news we can convey is that you are now at 87 on your favourite website!
Enjoy your remaining days of freedom before you return home to your loving sisters.
Love Dad and Piper.
PS: the girls have had McDonald’s already- shock.
Hi Finny, it’s Mummy here. Saw Harry today and you’ll be pleased to hear there was no prowler – phew!! We’re all missing you but so pleased that you look like you’re having an absolute blast.
Hey bro, how’s it going? Are you enjoying Residential? Anyway my school gave me loads of homework I have to do before my netball trip so I have to go do that 😰. Pure vanilla and crimson coral are missing you though 😂. Good luck with today and tomorrow, you’ll need it 😆. Anyway see you soon – your better sister Milla 🥰
Patience (Kezia’s Mum)
Posted at 19:04h, 19 SeptemberHey Princess K 🥰
How are you? I pray you are ok. Everyone has been asking if i have spoken to you but i’ve had to tell them its blog only, so Jaajaa, aunty Hilda, aunty Jade n aunty Yemisi have all said to put their names down for saying hi to you.
At home we are all missing you, we were worried Keturah would miss you in bed but she slept through the night alone and has been asking after you all day today.
We’ve all just had a look through the pics and shout “Keziaaaaa” everytime we saw you. The loudest cheer was seeing you right on top of the rock wall balancing with in your harness on. Oh and i miss your beautiful smile too so that one pic of you looking back and smiling was my personal favourite.
So so proud of you and i cannot wait to see more pics of your adventures.
Samson says
“I am missing you so much and i have been going to school and coming back home by myself. Are you having fun? I hope you are”
Ok Princess, we’ve just had dinner, its 7pm and I need to start Turah’s bed routine.
Remember to pray and thank GOD for your day before bed and when you wake up start with prayers and a positive mindset.
Love you to the moon and back!

Posted at 18:42h, 19 SeptemberHi Violet – hope you are having fun. Quiet here, and all your precious little bruddah can do to console himself is to lay around watching ‘funny rat’ videos. Run free, keep your teeth nice and clean, and don’t wake everyone up too early. Love you Boo.
p.s. what was in that box under your bed, because it seems to have escaped?
Jill Themistocleous
Posted at 18:39h, 19 SeptemberHey our gorgeous girl, are you having the time of your life? As you know, I would love it there, being the only parent who would drag you to the playground because it was raining so we had the place to ourselves! – so you are used to rain and well it looks such amazing fun!
Don’t know what you’ve done today but you’ll be up those climbing things with great enthusiasm knowing you!
Most importantly (!) how is the food? and are you spending the coins wisely?!
We miss you like crazy but cannot wait to hear all about it from you, Mama and Dada and SS XXX

This time I put her on mama and papa’s bed 😁😁😁I had maths today😥Anyway, I hope the food is really yummy there and that you have a good room! I need to do maths homework soon so I’m going to go and do that but I miss you! I will write another message tomorrow! bye bye🤩
Hola Lu, Papa here, we’re missing you so much here that Oli has gone crazy and is drawing faces on potatoes. Hope you had lots of fun today and didn’t get too wet. Sleep well, as I’m sure you’ll need it to be ready for rest of your action packed week.

Marion&Gustav for Lukas A
Posted at 16:39h, 19 SeptemberHi Lukas (A!),
We really enjoyed the photos of you all in the water yesterday (on your first afternoon). It looked very, very warm, ah!
It looks like you are all very busy and having a great time doing things you would not do with us for sure! Viggo is fine, finding the house a bit quiet without you but being a trooper about it. You should expect huge, suffocating hugs from him on Friday though.
I hope you are having fun and enjoying it all!
Bisous and Kram,
Maman, Papa et Viggo

Good morning Kinai.
I hope you had a good sleep and didn’t chat too late with your friends before bed.
The pictures I have seen look amazing so far. I look forward to see what adventures you will be up to today.
You should have a notepad in your back pack. Before going to bed please write down about today something that was amazing/ new/ positive/ fun / or maybe an achievement? Will you do something exhilarating or something as simple as a card game? Aunty and I look forward to hear about it all so every evening write something positive about the day.
Have a lovely day.
Maman

Posted at 07:55h, 19 SeptemberThank you Tony!
The children have enjoyed a hearty breakfast which they wolfed down so quickly that they’d finished before we could get our cameras ready.
My group Outen will be going on a forest exploration followed by deep sea exploration ( this is what the team instructor told us …)
Becca’s group Sabourin will be abseiling, climbing and gorge walking.
Josh’s group Purja will be beach hiking followed by forest exploration.
Ellie’s group Baig are off scaling mountains!
Photos will follow throughout the day by each Team Leader. Wish us luck!
