Lucy who is a member of the RSPB along with the rest of us recieved her magazine and in it they were asking for sponsors for the Birds of Prey appeal and Lucy decided that she would do a sponsored walk around Temple Newsam grounds. She had her grandpa find a map of the grounds of Temple Newsam house and she printed it out and chose a route to walk. She coloured in the way she would travel in large coloured pencils. She started at the main gates walked down to the Rose Gardens and round them twice (who knows why
) then down to the lakes, along them and then up along the Rhodedendron Walk along by Home Farm and the Amphitheatre and then back along the main walk back to the main gates. It was quite a walk and she was off at a fast pace as she was determined to complete it. I thought it was a lovely thing for a nine year old to think of, put into practice and succeed.
Well Done Lucy !
