OK, so it's not that exciting, but as most of you will know, Heather helps run a pre-school playgroup and they were running a theme of "The Sea". She had the idea of collecting seawater, seaweed, cuttlefish, etc. and getting the children (age 2 and a bit to 5) to say what they could see in the bowl.
The problem was she hadn't really thought it through properly and ended up going down to the seafront on the evening before which turned out to be quite a high tide and fairly blustery. Pleasant thoughts of calmly dipping bottles in rock pools turned into braving the waves and the wind. The plastic bottle she took was soon snatched out of her hand and washed out to sea. By some miracle it was washed back onto the beach after a few minutes and she did manage to get a few cc's of water in it, getting herself very wet in the process. I maintain that she'd have got more water if she'd simply wrung out her clothes into a bucket when we got home!
I was of great help of course - standing back and taking pictures whilst trying to persuade Bobby to go for a swim.
Incidentally, one of the children swore that he could see 2 sea-snakes in the water!!!!
