Whilst on holiday on the Scillies, my owner and his wife did a lot of beachcombing. It’s a kind of infectious and therapeutic activity which humans enjoy when they have time on their hands. And a sandy beach can be a place full of treasure, depending upon what you are looking for. Parrots like anything bright and sparkly, so had I been there, I’d have been searching for all of the shells with shiny mother-of-pearl. Meanwhile, my owner has a thing about limpets, so he always seeks out ‘limpets of character.’ And my owner’s wife has a passion for sea glass. In fact, there can be four or five humans all walking up and down the same stretch of tideline, and the beauty is that each of them can discover their own special ‘treasure.’
