Our second first to find

We recently managed to snare our second FTF. It was The Sacred Order of the Stonecutters, and there was a bit of confusion whether or not we were actually there first. We think we were lucky to try this one during school holidays when some of the regular FTF-hounds were out of town.

A significant day

Last Sunday (2nd March) was a significant day for us for two reasons.

Firstly, we claimed our first ever first to find. The cache was Ted's Sports Box (GC19R86). Mr S was checking our email, and found that there were several new caches available. Ted's Sports Box was so close to home we could have almost walked there. However, we wanted to get there ASAP to try and snare that elusive FTF! So even though Ms S hadn't yet finished her morning beauty routine, we jumped in the car and headed off. We managed to get past the cricket-playing muggles and a couple of walkers to find the cache. When we opened it we were very pleased to see a blank logbook. After signing the log and taking photos, the other significant event occurred.

Mr S dropped to one knee and asked Ms S if she would like to become Mrs S (but in slightly more romantic terms than that). Luckily she said yes, because we'd bought the engagement ring the day before. She knew a proposal was coming, but not when or where. I guess we can be added to the list of geocaching wedding proposals.

We went shopping today for an engagement watch for Mr S, and came home with a nice Tissot piece. Very posh!
