Description
It's not any average frog that lives deep in the night garden. These little guys look quite normal by day, but after the sun sets and the festivities start they start glowing an eerie incandescent green colour. They'll party and glow for hours, but they will fade before morning. All this action can take it out of a frog, so be sure to leave them in the sunlight for a couple of hours or more if you want to see the slimy green amphibians light up again.
The cache blends in well with any garden, and has plenty of floral and foliage camo added so it blends in well with public gardens, floral or Christmas displays. Heck, pop it near a old lonely grave in the cemetery and it wont look out of place - well not in the daylight anyway...
There's a regular sized sistema container under that lot, containing a logbook & pencil and some swaps. There's a small switch under the solar panel that you can slide with a screwdriver or pencil if you want the frogs to stop glowing (but why would you want that!). I'd love to see a few snaps of the cache as it travels around the country.

Logs
This morning I drove past the hidey hole where I put this cache and noticed council (I think) gardeners working around there. I called the cache owner as I was unable to stop due to appointments. However, I did call in this evening about 1745 only to find the hole missing a cache! I hope someone has picked it up and not yet logged it.
Went to check that this cache was still around and was very pleased to see it still hiding in place. Petan must have been suffering cache blindness when they looked for it yesterday.
Did not find. Perhaps a case of cache blindness.
Sue can you check it's still in place.

Hanging round a local car dealership waiting for a lift. Wore themselves out last night partying in my garage. Hopefully there is enough sunshine to recharge them today.
MattyRX must think this is not a busy time of year at school. Fancy placing a cache at the end of the bus turning bay for my school.As it happened I had to wait for the line up of buses to move before I could get into the parking area at school so I turned around and collected In The Night Garden from the hidey hole. I will be keen to see how it glows in my garden tonight before I put it out again in the morning.
