From the Dragons’ Den
Little Dragon Members are still ‘resting’ due to Covid-19 but we hope that one of these fine days we will be able to pick up the threads and recommence our very enjoyable sessions. We miss those little people so much but manage to keep in touch with several of them and their families through social media. We have sent birthday cards out to those who have celebrated their special day and, when we hold our future sessions, we are going to have to spend a long time catching up with the Happy Birthday ritual which is quite complex – candles, singing, choosing whether to hold George, Uncle Sam or Idris! So far, during lockdown we have sent cards to 9 LDs and there are 2 to come in June, 2 in July and a whole bunch in August so, if lockdown continues, we could have to hold a special ‘Birthday Event’ in order to see that everyone gets their ‘moment in the sun’.
Today, as I write, Frank is celebrating his birthday, so perhaps I will pop a few candles on his cake (not the full total as there isn’t a cake big enough!), get a spare dragon that lives with us in a box full of LD story props, so that when, later this evening, we do a face-to-face with the family, he will feel that he hasn’t missed out. Maybe, maybe not!
Our church dragons send best wishes and hope for a speedy return of all their little friends.
Every good wish, Val
Best wishes from we three: – George Uncle Sam and Idris.
