Geocaching
Last Thursday once all the home school work had been done, Dave, Pip and AJ sallied forth on a geocache hunt. In order to find the cache Dave downloaded the appropriate app on my phone and off they went. They were out for a good hour and a half, map reading and hunting. The finds were a little disappointing and they all concluded that maybe some older kids had found the cache and made off with its contents! Still, they had plenty of fresh air and exercise and a change of scenery, so all good!
AJ hamming it up for the camera and little miss PJ looking very disgruntled :-)
Wesley's Coffee Lounge
Here are the photos of our trip to Wesley's on Saturday:
I love this tag line, come as a stranger and leave as a friend, so true! It really was a lovely, welcoming place to be. Not only was the food very reasonably priced there was plenty of variety. I also borrowed two Christian books fromm the Methodist Church borrowing service and bought another book for 50p in the second hand book stall.
Owl Fun
Whilst Ben was at his monthly music session at Heron Corn Mill, we had a trip to Arnside for a chippy lunch followed by a coffee stop at Beetham Garden Centre. In the garden centre a chap was giving a general talk about owls and we were able to stroke one of them:
This one was a definite no-no for petting, but...
... this little one was quite friendly!
Bus Journey With Dad
Earlier today, Dave and Pip went on an expedition into town via public transport. The journey itself only took seven minutes. Thankfully the driver very kindly let them on, because apparently if you have a mobility vehicle you are meant to have passed an inspection first!
Well deserved drinks in Booths cafe. Unfortunately not long after this photo was taken Pip suddenly began to feel quite unwell, so I went into town to pick them up. It looks like she has the same flu type virus as Ben, but I'm hoping she will be spared the vomiting :-(
Thankfully Ben has stabilised but it was a horrendous night, with non stop vomiting from 2am to 4:30am. He also had to do a set change at midnight, which meant I was on checking duty, so in all I had five hours sleep in total. We are all currently sleeping downstairs! Pip is on the camp bed in our room and Ben has graduated to the big sofa in the lounge! I think she has finally settled so hoping and praying for a decent night's sleep :-)

The geocoaching looks like fun! There is something in the U.S. called letterboxing. I think it is similar. The little cafe looks cute. Amazing that you could touch the owls. Jonathan would have loved that. I do miss him here. He might come in March during his spring break.
Sorry you got this nasty bug in the house. I hope Pip (and you and Dave) will not get it and Ben will be back to his normal self again.
I will reply to your e-mail soon, I think I need to go to bed now, I am quite tired.
Thanks for popping by! Pip has been poorly with a fever, cough and was sick once once but nothing compared to Ben, thank God! She seems to have a fairly robust constitution :-) Dave and I have been taking mega doses of vitamin C, garlic and echinacea, so hoping that will help. Looking forward to your email x
I do LOVE Geocaching! It is so fun and exciting to search for them! We have searched in some really remote places for them and found it very hard! Glad to hear of more explorations. Great to hear that Wesley Cafe is such a friendly place to visit.
Ah, you must be so exhausted being so deficient in sleep! I hope it remedies itself soon!x
