Christmas Tree is up and Fairy lights on !

Yay !

My Ammonite Doorstop

So here,s the new Ammonite doorstop....the heaviest fossil on the beach ! Two tiny pyrites ammonites, typical of what you will find here in the sand a safe distance from those ever moving sloppy grey shale cliffs . Another tiny find with beautiful markings , but I dont know what it is , does anyone know ? And one of many tree photos that I took ...Dorset has the lovliest old trees that I have ever seen .

Charmouth Storm Labyrinth !

Here,s my lovely little Ammonite ,the sand labyrinth I made and the kestrel that flew over my head . It was lovely to watch from a distance folk having fun ,walking around it ! When I returned from our walk up the beach ,heavily laden with my new Ammonite doorstop ,there were lots of little footprints in it .... quite enchanting !

Dinosaur hunting at Charmouth .

We,re back from a very stormy long weekend fossil hunting at Charmouth .

Yay ! My JungleSeeds order has arrived !

Yay ! My seeds have arrived from the Jungle Seeds company . Thrilled to bits ! Started off gathering everything I need ..compost ....sand from beach to make a nice gritty mix ...pots and plastic bags to seal and carefully peel off the labels on the seed packets to stick on the plastic bags . Had a blissful morning doing all this ,see below .

Seeds that need soaking .

The banana and Trachycarpus princeps Stone Gate seeds need soaking to break their dormancy . Will put into bags of compost tomorrow . Why aren,t these large hard shelled seeds not called nuts ? Surely they ARE nuts ? No ? Very excited about these ! : )
