Has anyone seen this great Open University programme? The beautiful boy gets to stay up to watch it for a special treat from time to time... I know, I know, we live dangerously here in Norfolk!
Anyway. We promised that we would go fossilling (is there such a word?) and fossilling we did go!
We raided my old art equipment for suitably archaeology looking tools and we scrambled over rocks at the base of these beautiful cliffs.
We had absolutely no idea what on earth we were looking for. A complete dinosaur skeleton might be nice? A species previously unknown to modern science would be a bonus. Actually we found lots of possible little bits and bobs.You can see something... can't you? Well, never mind! We had huge fun looking...Thank goodness we had a warm stove to come home to!!
...and we're still looking!Hope everyone's having a happy half term! t.xx
