A damp overcast day today, but this didn't stop us from taking Rachel and Jasmine down to Penarth Head to hunt for fossils and brightly coloured quartz samples on the foreshore. It was such a delight to hear her exclamations of delight at each fresh discovery. It's lovely to have a five year old about who is as interested in rocks as she is flowers, trees, birds and insects. But then she does live normally in the Columbia Valley, in the Rockies, as different as it is equally interesting a physical environment. There are now two trays of samples collected, taking up kitchen workspace. These will need to be whittled down to a small handful of treasures to avoid luggage overload on the return trip. I foresee tears ahead.
