I have been keeping a diary regularly for the last year. It is not particularly traditional, and is a hotchpotch of many things that work for me. I use a large plain paper notebook, and each month has a weekly appointments section with 'to do' lists, a page for memories, what's in flower in the garden and any wildlife spotted, garden jobs completed, longer more traditional diary entries for big events, and anything else that seems like a good idea at the time! It is very loosely based on a bullet journal without all the faff! This type of diary works really well for me as everything is in one place, and there is a pocket at the back that I can stuff concert programmes, invitations, tickets etc in once they've been used. The badge book says that this can definitely be backdated, therefore I shall claim it!
As you may have guessed from my subtle title, I gained Ultimate Rebel status this week by finishing some Wild Rebel badges; I finished Palaeontologist a few weeks ago, and this week finished Nature Lover and Observer. Neither were too much of a stretch as they encompassed many things I already do. I highly recommend sitting in the window of a coffee shop for an hour and actively watch the world go by; it's fascinating what and who you see. I went for a slow nature walk as it was too cold to sit in the squirrel hide for long, and saw several bird species, a horse being taken for a stroll (I got to pat it and I am usually scared of horses, so yay to me!), lots of lichen and fungi and a glorious variety of ivy leaves. There were lots of early spring flowers emerging, and to top everything off I saw a red squirrel scampering up and down a tree and along a path. We only have red squirrels here and I always get excited when I see one. I feel I have lost my Rebel mojo a bit in...
