I did manage to go to Lyme Regis with my family on Tuesday, unfortunately the mineral shops we're not as good as before, the beaches were horribly crowded and me and my dad missed the low(er) tide on the beach in between Lyme regis and Charmouth so we could not go fossil hunting. I did get one mineral, torbernite, (for £18.50) which is a highly radioactive uranium ore! !!! I was thinking of getting a really nice slice of tourmaline but when I got back to the shop it was closed. Fortunately someone we knew invited us round their house for tea and a chat in their really nice cottage. We had fish and chips for dinner by the sea front (which we only have about once a year (usually when we visit Lyme Regis or Sidmouth)) and went home.

Well I've run out of time so I can't say any more and I'll have to leave you with this uninteresting entry.
