News from Hidden Valley Camp

	Reunited... and it feels so good! November 10th 2008 Greetings! This weekend saw many fellow Hidden Vally'ers be reunited in New York City. The reunion was fun for all, and campers and counselors alike relished the chance to catch-up and enjoy each others company. I have it on good authority from my Royal Spies that the afternoon was fun, and a great opportunity to bring HVC to the city! As well as all you shorter folk there were some counselors including Jason, Danno, Christina, Carrie, Jess (07) and of course Q, Betsy, Peter and Meg. Take a look at all the photographs of you all hanging out and enjoying each others company. It's no Royal Tea Party but it sure looks as though you all had a wonderful time! Until next time... Love The Dutchess
	Happy Halloween! October 31st 2008 Ghoulish Greetings Everyone! I hope everyone is enjoying Halloween and preparing costumes for Trick or Treating tonight. Digger, our office dog is wearing his witches outfit for today, although he is a boy so maybe it is a Wizards outfit?! I'm excited to see an all American halloween tonight, although it sounds very scary so I will have to take my teddy bear with me! Here at camp everything is ticking along, the leaves have almost all fallen off the trees and camp is preparing for the winter. It won't be long before were joined by our old friend, the snow! Well, enjoy Halloween everyone and check back soon for more! Why was the skeleton afraid to cross the road? It had no guts… Love The Dutchess
	Fall Foliage 10/17/08 Greetings fellow HVC'ers! As I was out enjoying the stunning scenery this week I thought I'd take a few photo's and share them with you. Camp is beautiful right now, the leaves on the tree's are gorgeous shades of orange and red. It won't be long before the tree's have lost all their leaves and we are walking on a bed of crimson and gold. In other news, Wombles is well into it's transformation. It has  great new skylights in the celing to make it bight and beautiful in there. Wombles is also getting an addition on the back, right now you can look out the hole and see Shangri-La... We promise we will put windows in the hole! I hope you are all having a wonderful fall and are enjoying the crisp days like as of us here. It sure is nice to not see grey sky's everyday like back in England! Take care and keep looking for more soon, Love The Dutchess
	Fall is here, as am I Hello All! It is lovely to be back at Hidden Valley spreading all the wonderful news to everyone from the summer. I just spent some time back in England doing lots of English things like having tea and eating scones and cucumber sandwiches. The weather was of course raining, as it does in dark and gloomy England. Back at camp however, the sun was shining yesterday and it is wonderful to be back. I took a walk around and took some photo's of the new Rec Hall doors, there have been many changes since we last talked in the Spring my dears. The doors look great and the colours in the trees are beautiful right now. Take a look at all the photo's posted from Deer Meadows, the Rec Hall and many many more I have been looking through from your happy times this summer. There were so many it was hard to chose but you can see more from the Candy Drop, Fireworks and some of your counselors. Take care and keep looking for more soon, Fondly, The Dutchess
