Super Scavenger completed!

 I can’t resist a scavenger hunt, I used to play Eventzee when they did the Weekend Warrior, and at Munzee events. I started fairly well, and managed to organise to meet up with another rebel at a geocaching event. I could have got a real chicken crossing a road, had I been a bit quicker off the mark while doing the Geocaching Mega Art puzzle series in Staffordshire, but managed to create something regardless.


The home grown produce was quite easy, as our fig trees were prolific this year, and there really is nothing like the taste of fresh home grown figs.

The most colourful item was quite easy given my extensive quilt and fabric collection - and I ended up choosing a colour chart for Moda Bella Solids, which lists 324 different colours that you can get in the Bella Solids range.

One clue was tricky to get - and that was the word ‘Rebel’ - I saw a sign for Rebel Cinema on the way back from Tintagel, but the picture was rather blurry - luckily they accepted it, and I did do a screenshot from Google street view to prove my point.

Fake items were quite easy - as was the obscure medal - geocaching provided both of these. The trickiest thing was getting all the photos in one album to upload to Facebook, where they are now in the Super Scavenger group! I’ve included a few photos here to show some of what I found!

Critic Badge - Review of an album

The album I’ve chosen to review by George Ezra - Staying at Tamara’s. I’m a bit late to the party as far as George Ezra is concerned. I knew that I would enjoy at least one of his songs, as it is one that I heard several times whilst chaperoning our local youth theatre show, and is a song that always makes me feel good - reminding me of happy times and the camaraderie of the group - how it was then (it is just as good now, but different!). The album is in general a feel good album - I’d happily listen to it on car journeys. Certainly the first five songs are quite bouncy - and have what I would call the ‘George Ezra vibe’. The feature that comes through in the first song is that lovely deep round sounding voice - I suppose some people may call it a dark brown chocolate voice. It sounds so rich - and reminds me of Rick Astley’s sound. Although the first five songs sound bouncy, there are some darker undertones - talk of anxiety, certain words that prompt some deeper thinking. It surpris...

Craft badge complete - with Weaving

 Trying to to a write up more regularly now. It isn’t so easy when I’m also doing other work - which also counts towards other badges. Anyway - this is about the Craft badge. You may remember that I did a needle-felted robin earlier in the year, and then I posted about the other three clauses I had completed - patchwork, appliqué and quilting. Last week (or maybe the week before) I decided to finish a piece of weaving that I had started at a class I did a little earlier in the year. I had attended a workshop in a local shop, where we were provided with a wooden frame of about 20cm square (or 8 inches), we got to bang the nails in ourselves, and we were given some other tools to keep as well - a plastic fork, a piece of dowel (useful for making loops), a smooth piece of batten (to help lift up the threads) and a wooden skewer (useful for smaller loops, and also for hanging. I’ve liked the idea of weaving for some time, and when you know the basics, it is easy. I remember doing it i...

Critic badge 1 - Dreamboats and Petticoats Bringing On Back The Good Times

 Some of my earliest memories of listening to music are of being in the kitchen while my mum listened to Pick of the Pops (which often had 60’s music on it, being the late 70’s and early 80’s), and to Sounds of the Sixties. I continued to listen to Radio 2  in my teens, 20’s and 30’s - and still listen to it now. With the title including Bringing On Back The Good Times  I knew that this show would have a good selection of music in it.  I went to see the show yesterday afternoon, at Queen’s Theatre, Barnstaple (Saturday 9th April 2022). I haven’t seen any of the previous Dreamboats and Petticoats musicals, so didn’t know quite what to expect. We possibly wouldn’t have come to see this show had it not been for the special offer on the tickets; however, an opportunity to see a show when the tickets were £15 each was too good an opportunity to miss. We were able to get seats quite near the front and in the middle of a row. What a fantastic show this is! People who like t...
