Today we took a ferry across to Brownsea Island to find a couple of caches hidden over there.  It was a beautiful day in the mid 20s. lovely and hot. Brownsea Island is home to the last of the native red squirrels. We looked really hard but alas, no red squirrels for us today. We did however see these pretty peacocks who insisted on posing for us.

  
  
We found the two caches hidden on the island and placed Bacon in one of them to start his world trip. Ollie was supposed to go but I couldn’t bear to part with him.  Bacon is a pink pig similar to Ollie but pig shaped rather than elephant shaped

Brownsea Island was really pleasant to walk around. It was great to get away from the hustle and bustle of the Quay. I even dipped my feet in the water, but it caused lamentations of the swearing kind. It was freezing.
 
Here’s some pictures of the day: Departing Poole Quay View out the other side of Brownsea Island.
