Marching to the Top of the Hill!

Just a few days to go until we make our charity ascent of Snowdon with Actress Louise Bush the butterflies have set in. We had planned to do loads of fun 'training' sessions with Rosemary and piggybacking Jasmine up some hills... but... London is not very hilly. So other than our Richmond Park circuit, which is beautiful (but not very hilly) we have opted to join the British Armed Forces for some real training. We have joined the Changing of the Guards Guards at Buckingham Palace and marched down the road with them to Horseguards Parade, and then through Green Park. Quite a jolly affair with lots of men in leapard skins, drums banging, and trumpets blowing etc. Rosemary's march turned more into a skip, but it was in time, and everyone seemed very happy.

After our exhausting military training we took a well earned break on the Thames River Taxi. Just hope Snowdon is like a Christmas tree... after many years they grow smaller.

Our hope is that our efforts will bring in £1000 for the Eilidh Brown Trust which provides families with a terminally ill child with a respite facility. So far £790 has been raised. http://www.justgiving.com/snowdon-hike-for-eilidh-brown-appeal
