Bug Hunt at West Stow

Jigsaw children's centre organise a bug hunt every year. Last year it was raining, lots, and Matthew was on his hols. Joe and I went and got wet but thought as the sun was out this year and Matthew was home we would go again. It was very busy and we didn't enjoy it as much as when there were as many of the centre staff as there were families, but a good time was had anyway.

We saw dozens of dragonflies and damselflies

Hunting for Geocaches

Geocaching has become a favourite activity for Joe and me, Matthew isn't so keen but we have to sit through endless games of his football so it's only fair really!

We set off to find a couple we'd not found before in Thurston. One we found, another we didn't, so a standard day for us really!

Next day we went back to one we've been to before because it makes it more fun for Joe if there's guaranteed treasure at the end, plus it's a good spot for blackberry picking! We took Milo the neighbour's dog out for a walk which kept Matthew a little bit happier!
