    My kids came back from southport last yr with a bag full of shells and inside were some baby crabs which to save from a slow death I put into the fish tank and the fish had them.

    So, no I don't see me allowing the kids to bring any back again if only because of that.


    Picked up two bottles of tomato food for £1 today at the pound shop-same NPK as wilkos

    HI PAMSDISH the harbour was called AUCHMUTY HARBOUR. my friend found a stone
    in about 2 feet of water.the stone was about 2 feet x 3 feet X 4 inch thick,rather heavy.
    he stood on it when, entering for a paddle in the water.the water was crystal clear, so he could see what appeared to be some kind of inscription.he called on me to assist him to take it onto the beach for inspection.we got the stone from the water onto the beach,after a struggle. we washed the stone with sea water ,to remove some of the debris which had gathered in the carvings. we came across the carvings of several fish,
    and other sea objects like shells,and other markings which we could not understand.
    to us it looked like CELTIC inscriptions .we put the stone in the car and on return home informed,(THE HERITAGE). a person from the heritage came and inspected and
    took several photographs of the stone ,along with some details of the find.
    THE STONE WAS SMOOTH AND CARVED AND ROUNDED AT THE TOP!.
    we are still waiting for an outcome from the heritage. music.
