Wintry weekend 🌬️🀍

This weekend the girls engaged in a variety of indoor activities.

Laser tag added an exciting twist, while bodyshaping, pilates, stretching, and relaxation sessions brought balance to the energetic mix. For the adventurous spirits, horse riding and running club outdoors were thrilling options!

Copenhagen & Weekend in Villa du Lac

Dear all,

This weekend some of the girls went to Copenhagen and spent some quality time together despite the cold! They had a fantastic time exploring the beautiful city center and came back tired but very happy.

For those staying in the house, we started to get a little bit festive. You might say “It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas!”. We had some tasty chocolate brownies, sang karaoke, played Just Dance, drank hot chocolate and even started decorating the house. For some of our more adventurous girls, a trip to Andilly Christmas Park was taken and if there had been space in the bus, we are quite certain that they would have brought at least one donkey home!

Not only were we getting festive in the house, but the charity Christmas box event took place in Leman and a number of the girls went to help pack gifts for disadvantaged children around Europe. It is a fantastic charity and we are so proud that our girls got involved! πŸŽπŸ’–πŸŒ²

 

Best wishes,
