We didn't get blown away - Fossils - part one 🦖🦈🦕🦈

Thankfully we survived the storm . Just the usual , a tree came down up the lane and a neighbour's fence down , flowerpots and bin lids flying in from somewhere lower down the lane . Powercuts all over Cornwall , our lights were flickering and the internet kept cutting out on and off . We were o.k.

We have had a fairly settled week weather-wise and even a little sunshine . I have a new little friend . A Jackdaw . He is very tame and every morning at around 10am he is coming to me (in my bright red kagoul) for a handful of grain .

There he is sitting up on the telegrah wire . I know it's a rubbish pic and I am working on trying to get some better photos of him . Also Blogger seems to have changed the way we upload pictures ..I'm seeing lots of gobbledegook html I think it's called and can't see my photos until I click to publish it . Very confusing . My daughter is not here now to help me..she would know what to do . It's probably me ! I have probably done something wrong .

I just remembered that I was going to tell you about our recent fossil finds .Yes , so we got away for just two days of dinosaur hunting up at Charmouth .

Hubby found a small but OMG awesome piece of a Rhamphorynchus beak last time we came , so now it's my turn ! I did find an Ichthyosaur vertebra but he's still the winner .

Unfortunately the tide was out but the nights were drawing in and it became too dark for us to see . I came home with my usual bundle of driftwood , seaglass , heart stones and a couple of nice old bricks to hold down netting up in my vegetable garden . I also felt that we didn't really have time "to get our eye in " as they say ....but we'll be back !

So then we came home and went for a McDonalds and a coffee sitting in the car watching the waves at Marazion . I went for a little wander along the beach .Marazion is well known for semi-precious stones , which wash in from places far away . We don't find fossils here . So I'm just beach-combing , looking at all the different seaweeds ,semi-precious stones , looking for sea glass , funnyface and heart stones .

And off I go, deep in thought and in my own little world ....

....jelly fish and sea weeds ...

.... and funny face stones .....
