Since Goulceby is a tiny village hidden away in the countryside, I wasn't expecting much. However, it was actually quite busy! There were people everywhere enjoying the live music and chatting to their neighbours. Since we only moved recently, it was a great opportunity to make some friends.
The owner of the ponies from my last post was there challenging people to different types of board games, so I decided to play an intense match of Connect4 with him. He took the game very seriously, thinking out every move before he put his chip into the board. He is a maths teacher and he's very competitive! Even though I tried my hardest, I couldn't beat him. Maybe I should practice for next year?

On Friday, I took a trip to a nearby chocolate shop for a Chocolate Making Workshop. There were lots of other home ed children there and I ended up making friends with a girl called Alyssa.
I made a delicious looking multicoloured chocolate house. I was going to save it and take some pictures of it, but I just couldn't resist! It was very tasty.

At the chocolate workshop, I heard that there was some casual home ed PE lessons going on that were followed by 'rookie lifeguard lessons' at a nearby leisure centre so I decided to check it out. The PE was a bit too mcuh for me, I felt like I was going to pass out! Alyssa was there as well so at least I wasn't suffering alone.
I did a lot better at the rookie lifeguard lessons - I've always been a really good swimmer. We were taught how to do CPR, carry another person through the water while swimming and jump in without going completely underwater. I couldn't quite figure out how to jump in properly so I might need to practise a bit more!
Even though the PE was exhausting, I'll definitely be going back next week.
