More to the point, our reporter Natalie has been clocking up the miles. She's been visiting stag beetles in Fingringhoe and showing off her bowling skills in Walton-on-the-Naze. StrikePlanet Ray listener Robin has been a regular at Walton bowl on the pier for many years. He told us about Dom Barrett who is a professional ten-pin bowler, bowling in competitions all over the world.  Entrance to Walton pier bowling alley So we sent Nats off to meet him and admire his bowling skills. Nats was in Walton on Thursday morning and blamed her once broken finger for the ball bouncing into the gully and missing the pins entirely when she attempted a strike... Help playing audio/video It's The BeetlesThe Essex Wildlife Trust are building pyramids at the Fingringhoe Wick visitor centre. So, who would live in a house like this? Why, a stag beetle of course.  Wildlife expert Natalie Nats got down with nature, but was running scared with the knowledge that there were adders around, although I don't think she was too keen on the stag beetles either. However, there was a dog that was certainly keen on Nats - making his presence known during the interview. On your marks...Saturday, 4, July is getting closer, and work is progressing on our entry to the Pebmarsh Billy Cart Grand Prix.

Make a note in your diary for a visit to Pebmarsh to cheer on our cart, piloted by Telephone Stu.

Being an allotment man (although temporarily without an allotment) I was interested to hear of one local MP who regularly spends £249 on his garden. I went to a garden centre with BBC Essex colleague Ian Puckey to check out just what you could buy for £249.
