"Look at all these lovely Brownies come out to meet me."

A Brownie being a mini Girl Guide, not a cakey-comestible.
She was talking about the whole group of us, but she addressed it to me.
Probabaly because we shared a birthday.

She was dressed in Lincoln Green velvet (it WAS the 80's!) with a pillbox hat (see previous brackets). It was raining, but I considered it the best day of my life for at least a year. I got to take a day off of school, and although I loved school it make me feel really special. There were only two? three? girls in my class also chosen, and I squirmed my way to the front. Yay wiry body and bony elbows!

It wasn't even girls from every school. It was assorted Brownies from assorted schools - my sister was also a Brownie and wasn't chosen, neither was my neighbour at a different school. There might have been some sort of quota. I was a goody-goody pupil, but a rather lacklustre Brownie. So I guess the school had more sway than the 9th Aylesbury Pack.
