G did a set of water colours with goggly eyes and they were so cheery they had to make it into the days of Christmas. We are big rock-pool pokers, fossil finders and crab botherers. If you can get a clear day at this time of year you can discover more than in the warmer weather sometimes, starfish are our absolute favourite find, but G loves Green crabs , particularly the one she named Peter Tolla (?) only she knows why. Heck, we've never forgotten the dogfish we found at Ogmore, although he was far from alive. I got to do some of the backgrounds, I was told to do it carefully and we discussed the importance of the right sized brush for the fiddly bits and letting it dry properly in-between. I did my best. The goggly eyes were a stroke of genius on G's part....
