A couple of photos from Mia’s travels.

 

Mia's travels

Gwen got a remote camera for Christmas and has been testing it out in a small wood just over the hill from our house (see map). So far she has caught fox and badger on the camera which is triggered by movement. We hope that as the nights get shorter we will get more colour photos in daylight. Who knows? One day we may get a wolf! You can see that the badger was caught at almost midnight on the 30th of December.

Happy New year!

OK so we are in the middle of a story here so don’t expect to be able to follow the thread! So we have intro music, story and then the challenge for Day 21. And this is Mia to Gwen.

Beware that this is merging two together.
One is the ongoing Christmas stories which are shown on TV everyday from the first day of December until the 24th when everything ends happily. The second is a purely Fox tradition of issuing daily challenges. Below is an intro video by Gwen lasting 7 minutes where she explains some of these things.

The first episode of the Xmas story cum challenge.



Most years we go to the Christmas Market just up the road at Gammel Estrup. We went today and below is a 2 minute video showing what we saw there.

We were honoured to receive a visit from the new photo-journalist and her entourage the last few days. The new camera was taken to two lunchtime venues in Grenaa and Ebeltoft and deployed around the house. The camera  also proved equal to the task of capturing wildlife visitors to the garden attracted to the fallen apples around the old apple tree.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And they got home in double quick time!

At the moment the girls are away on a week long scout jamboree camp with 35,000 others in Holstebro, northwest Denmark. Or maybe 34,998 others? The Danish Prime Minister has been to visit and so have we. The video below is in English and talks to some of the foreign scouts who are also there. I am curious about what the British scout is referring to when he talks about being allowed to do things in Denmark which he would never be allowed to do in the UK! We will get the girls back on Sunday which, if things go as normal, means that they will be dog-tired and not able to do anything for the rest of the day. But they love it and Mia already wants to go to the next one in three years time which will be in Japan (Gwen will be too old to attend but has her eye on a Scout Jamboree in Canada next summer instead which is for older scouts). There was a big show biz studded opening show last Saturday and there will be a big show biz studded closing show this Saturday but the weather forecast is for thunder so we are waiting to see how that goes. It seems that the thunder will be early afternoon rather than later in the evening so they may be OK.

More details to come later but in the meantime here are a few photos and a couple of short videos taken on my phone.
