We always try to go to a beach on holiday, but we are not always successful in finding any shells. All of these are shells I found unexpectedly, was very excited for days, all personal firsts and hold fond memories. Lanzarote, April 2001 was a first family holiday with toddler Christopher! It was chosen for spring sunshine and hopefully good shelling. The hotel was a 5 minute walk from a small sandy public beach. No shells in sight! However an amble at high tide showed small shells swept up, to be taken away on the turn. I came back with 4 boxes,35 species all little treasures.
