Lunar completes NT challenge #17 (sets up a snail race)

Friday 19 September 2014 was a groggy, wet day. Daddy and I took a walk and saw lots of big fat slugs on the pavement. This gave Daddy an idea. He suggested we look for snails in the back garden. It didn't take long before we had both spotted one.

Daddy disappeared for a second and then returned with some blue chalk. Moments later he had chalked out a race course. We were going to race our snails! My snail was the little one.

 My snail took an early lead. It was very exciting watching them race. Daddy's snail was fat and slow.

Whoa just look at my snail go! Zoomy! My snail was definitely going to win!

Here was the moment of truth. My snail was first to cross the line! Daddy's snail had started to shift but it wasn't even close. Daddy said I had now completed another National Trust challenge - I had completed NT challenge #17 and set up a snail race.

Lunar completes NT challenge #9 (eats an apple straight from a tree)

This year (2014) my mummy and daddy have been growing all sorts of fruit in Doo Little gardens. They grew some cherry's, pears, tomato's, marrows and apples. Daddy said I had to find a big apple to complete one of my National Trust (NT) challenges - this wasn't too difficult...

One of our apple tree's in the garden had 2 apples left on it. Daddy said 'how d'ya like them apples?' I  smiled and plucked the biggest apple straight from the tree. The apple was mostly green with a splash of red too. It looked delicious.

I'm not quite sure what variety the apple was but daddy says it wasn't a cooking apple. It looked juicy and there were no maggot holes or anything. Now to take a bite...

Mmmm. Delicious! Perhaps not a Golden Delicious though.

It was such a big apple it took me ages to eat it. Some apple was eaten outside. Some apple was eaten inside. Daddy said I now have apples inside my insides.

On 9 September 2014, I completed the National Trust challenge #9 and ate an apple straight from a tree. Daddy says this was a big achievement, especially considering I am not even 2 years old. I have now successfully completed 3 NT challenges!
