I went to Paxton Pits (fairly) early on Saturday morning, in search of dragonflies. I didn't find any of the big ones, but I did find a few darters. Both the Common Darter and the Ruddy Darter. I also found the last of the damselflies, the Willow Emerald.
Chiltern Open Air Museum consists of a farm and a series of other buildings. They range from a reconstructed iron-age roundhouse to a relocated 1940s prefab. It's an eclectic mix. One cottage is dressed out to be mid-Victorian in every room, except one. A small bedroom is furnished straight out of the 1970s, and gave me a very Enfield Poltergeist vibe.
