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 the last week or two, but have been tired. I am slowly working on some of the more research based badges, such as Politician, and will be doing 'Be a Hero' as well as the silly March challenges for Rebel Cup - trying to work out who I can convince to march along to Barbie Girl with me! 

Oh yes, I decided to do 'My Collection' again; this time I am going to collect all the Church of England churches in my county by taking a photo of each and having a look inside where possible. I can combine it with Walker badge too. Eight down, fifty three to go!
