i really like the light reflections on the walls and floor

rat and no rat

i went past a place where there used to be a banksy rat and noticed it had been painted over.  you might be able to see it here

but one round the corner had been (fairly neatly) NOT painted round.  that’s interesting.

answering the age old question of where to put your wine glass when out for a woodland ramble ?

getting festive

it’s the annual ‘dressing of the music stands’.  christmas has arrived. (except in our house as i didn’t win the decorating argument – but actually we wouldn’t have had time anyway)

ice breakers

in true christmas spirit we ate scrumptious deer yesterday at the vicarage, then went for a walk to find the geocache down by the old church.  nearby was a frozen pond providing some great ice fun.

here’s rupert scaring (or imitating?) a giant ice butterfly

rebecca’s well

this is a really interesting thing completely in the middle of nowhere in Crazies Hill (name never fails to amuse).  you can read more about it at this excellent website of strange britain

esther and kezia went to a pantomoon yesterday so jane and i went on some geocache adventures.  Three bigguns this time. And for the first time i collected a ‘travel bug’ to take to another geocache as part of an adventure.  you can read more about him here

here are janes with the two other caches we found.

we also went for a lovely meal in the fantastically rustic and calm and lovely bar restaurant “The Old House” in Warren Row near/in Crazies Hill.  The owner said he was having trouble getting the phone number in the phone book, so in case you found it via googling for “The Old House”, it’s 01628 825 861 and the postcode is RG10 8QS.  You should go as it’s great.
