Ultimate Rebel

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...

Diarist Badge

-
 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!

Summer Silliness

This month has been rather slower on the badge front due to end-of-school-year exhaustion for one thing. However, on the penultimate week of term I accompanied a school Duke of Edinburgh's Award trip to the Brecon Beacons in Wales, with fellow rebel Rachel and two D of E leaders. Obviously we had to take Fred the houseplant with us and he accompanied us on several walks, stayed in tents and minibuses and played in an adventure playground. He also came to a cafe. The weather was generally awful, but he coped magnificently (as did we and the kids). While there I finished my Camper Badge, and started my Advanced Camper Badge. I only had the menu planning and camp kitchen to do for camping, as I had camped lots the previous year but hadn't needed to cater. Advanced camping should be finished after a festival next month and Rebel Camp. I highly recommend camping in the rain, and hiking in the Welsh hills on damp days. The woods and waterfalls were magnificent. There are also lots of...
