Foraging For Fossils

Up very early this am on account of being worried about Chumdog holding on in a strange cottage. Whizzed him down to the beach in the dark and only looked at my watch when I got back, 4.30am, so I went back to bed only to have to do it all again a couple of hours later! As soon as the son emerged at breakfast time I busied myself making a bacon and sausage growler, this didn't go unnoticed by Chum who quickly took advantage of the sons momentarily unguarded sandwich and finished it off for him, normal sort of morning really! Later we all piled into the car on route to Middlesborough to do some shopping, but first we stopped to stretch Chum's legs on Redcar beach. We were surprised to find the water beautifully clear in the rock pools, George spotted a decent sized starfish and then found this exquisite little fossil. Chum really enjoyed splashing in all the puddles too, so we've decided to pay it a longer visit on another day before we go home.
