I'm sure it's today, February 22nd, Thinking Day.Event of the year for devoted Brownies like me and for some reason the excitement was all about the fact that you were allowed to wear your uniform to school.
Now what I'm stuck on is what we were supposed to think about.
Was it the international Brownie family?
Was it Lord and Lady Baden-Powell?
Was it Elves and Fairies?
Mushrooms?
Or was it just other people?
Don't laugh,I know I don't suit a hat.
