AlfnBets go fossil hunting

It was lovely to Nadine, Simon, Alfie & Betty for 10 days over Easter. Obviously they had come for the family reunion but we managed a few more visits whilst they were here. 

Nadine with the children on the beach at Le Rocher…

…and a bit nearer.

The delight in Betty’s face showing off some of her finds…

…now with Alfie too.


Some of the fossils are within much larger stones


Another discovery on the beach: tiny creatures which we now know are called Velella Velella or by-the-wind sailors. More info here: https://www.freetheocean.com/journal/the-mysterious-arrival-of-by-the-wind-sailors/

A ‘bac à Marée’ where visitors are encouraged to deposit any rubbish washed up by the tides
