JJ completed the Rubik’s cube for the first time while we were away at Cefn Lea. He’s been studying a book about it and since has become steadily more proficient.

Ironbridge Museums
Our Museum Ticket from last year was still in date, so before and after our usual Cefn Lea week in Wales we stayed at the Ironbridge YHA and re-visited some of the Museums.
Below MIP is filling some plaster moulds at Blist’s Hill Victorian Town.
Bear and Littlest at the China Museum.
Games at the YHA Open day – what a team!
Common Newts
We found some Common Newts in our garden.
Nancy Blackett
On the way from Ling’s Meadow to J’s mothers we called in at Woolverstone Marina to see if the Nancy Blackett was home. She was, and the Skipper and Mate who had just arrived kindly took the children aboard and showed them around. Picking up on our children’s enthusiasm they then decided the depth finder should be checked.
Next they decided the sails needed checking. We took some very happy children home that night (and then joined the Nancy Blackett Trust).
Eco Camping
At Ling’s Meadow near Thetford Forest. We joined J’s brother and girl friend at this lovely camp site. We visited Thetford Forest and an ‘Anglo Saxon Reconstruction Village’, which was holding a re-enactment day.
Wrest Park 4
Archeology
Bug Hunting
The third of the Wrest Park summer events for children was hunting insects, etc, around the grounds.
