GEOCACHING TRAVEL BUG DIARIES! : Show John the world!

Or GEO:BugTravels - Show John the World... GOES GLOBAL! :D

 As a geocacher - see... (www.geocaching.com) I like to pass on and continue the journey of many travel bugs, little trackable tags that travel the world through other 'cachers' people that geocache and also via geocaches 'the hidden containers' that are put all around the world.  So I thought why not set one up for my father John, as due to having Parkinsons and a heart problem he cannot travel long distances and so he can travel the world via this 'tb'... I will attempt to document at least a bit of the 'tbs' travels via this.  If you ever read this and your a geocacher do go onto the page: TB7C7Q8 and 'discover' us or rather him! Here are some photos from the page it'self  and some of the logs that have been posted recently or this year

Current GOAL / MISSION:

This tb is for my Father John.  He can't travel as much due to having Parkinsons and a heart problem/pace maker. I'd love to show him the world with your help. Can you help me by doing the following?

• Take as many pictures as possible
• Get as many miles on this trackable as possible
• Say hello to us (John and Rae) via your log
• Write a poem, greeting in your own language for us to translate (hopefully!) or if you can translate it for us?
• Take to as many events as possible
• We'd love to go to Geocaching HQ Please!
• We'd love to go to as many famous Geocachers as possible.

About This Item

A Devon mega tag that Rae got from the Devon Mega event this year. The TB and pictures will be placed on my blog page www.theteaandbooklady.blogspot.com  (let me know in '( and )' if you do not wish your name / cache name to be on my blog or if you do not wish a photo with your face to be on.

[Photos to come later]

 

Prudence and the Crow - Tea Review #1

Hello,

This is my second subscription with http://www.prudenceandthecrow.com/ and I thought I would hopefully do them proud at least if not, I will just try and do a review and promote them a bit.  This is my own personal opinion of the Tea by  Pukka Teas , which is in no means me trying to have a go and Poor Prudence and the Crow! :) For some reason it wont let me put my own pictures of the tea that I drunk in so these are all of the net (OH I Hope I don't get done for this, let me know if I need to take them off or something!) raevienne.hewitt@gmail.com (if they are copyrited, my sincere apologies if so!), Well on with the review:

Pukka's 3 Cinnamon Tea

At the start I felt this smelt rather strange, very much it's namesake!  Having had got this from the Purdence and the Crow Subscription box.  A vintage book subscription with a few goodies that comes every 13th of the month, not sure if thats lucky or unlucky, poor them, but I like how they have a Steampunkish sense to them!  I hope that is what their getting too hehe!

Anyway, I thought I'd give it a go as I was rather 'Aptly' watching the Hugo film on telly! Got to love Steampunk!! (Although, I must get back to it as I've had to pause it to write this and drink the tea!!)
Although tastes to me a bit like the chai tea, I didn't think I'd like it that much, but it is not all that bad!! Well at the best of times I'm never good at explaining so hear me out!  Found this to be rather a mixture of tangy, spicey and creamyish, if it could or can be all them things!! :D Although I definatly wouldn't reccommend to leave the tea bag in for more than 5 minutes!! There's a definately some spice kick to it!! #Prudenceandthecrow - I must say although this is still giving me an after taste and I am not entirely sure if it is agreeing with me, like Chamomile (OH PLEASE DO NOT send me Chamomile!! I am allergic to it!) it is definately down to the persons choice of tea flaverings and smells.  I'd recommend this to a friend that likes the smell, but wouldn't really have it again, sorry!

Bright Blessings,

Rae.

Fracking protest tea lady gets a new canteen!

(People have been having a problem with links so here's a snippet)

2:13pm 6th December 2017
(Updated 1:23pm 7th December 2017)

The famous tea stall at the Kirby Misperton fracking site has moved into a new caravan.
The tea lady, Jackie Brooks, hit the headlines earlier this year after she was asked to move by police.
Minster FM's video of the scene was picked up by media outlets world wide.
The gazebo and table which was set up to provide refreshments was blown down by a storm.
Protestors have been taking turns to serve food and drink to other people who are there to demonstrate against fracking along with police officers and the media too.

The Fracking Files! #1 (FF#1)

... Or 'FF's for short!

I am going to be putting together a group of 'fellow protectors of the earth' stories, articals and opinions, as sort of my own research and find out whats best and whats not for the future of this earth and it's people.  If you'd like to comment please send your quoted text in ("") speach marks emailed to me with "Fracking Files - For your Blog" in the subject line and I will do my best to include it.  This is open to pro fracking as well as anti fracking as I want to hear both sides of the story!  Please respect each others opinions anyone one from either side found bad mouthing will have their comments removed! (I don't want trouble on my hands! :) )

So here we go...

Opinion from a fellow relative regarding fracking...:  "It will give us renewable energy that is cheap and that many can afford and it will go to a good use"

J. Gibbs' Reply via Facebook:

The public will not get cheaper gas through fracking as it will be used to service Ineos making more plastic to pollute our oceans (Blue Planet) and we have enough gas without fracking to last 20 years which is plenty long enough for the changeover to renewable energy. Ask them to explain to you why, when we live on an island, the energy in the tides can't be used, then look at wind, and the sun...

Update from Kirby Misperton FRACK Pad, North Yorks ... A Disaster waitin...

  Please note, this blog or rather my blog that I post on is only my opinion...  I am trying to gather the facts for both sides to figure it all out regarding 'Fracking' So far I haven't been able to find a 'Pro-Fracking' Video that makes sense! ...



If you dislike what you see ib this vlog you do not have to view. Or don't read that blog post at that time go and read another one.  I post about lots of other different things... maybe not at the same time but I amd hoping to do so.  Hense why I am called The Random Scoper sometimes! Rae
