Plants & Animals


A perk to growing up with a biologist as a father is that as soon as you can walk you are taken on field-trips to explore cool ecosystems such as rock pools. My most vivid memory from such excursions was one of my dad getting our car stuck during a classic Austin Powers moment. Along with learning why one -way streets are actually called one-way streets, I was fortunate enough to discover, first-hand, which creatures inhabit the UK's coasts.
Badly needing a dose of the outdoors after weeks of decorating, I wrapped Ashi up like a pretzel and set to, like the old days, discover some rock pools. So I put on my best Attenborough voice and proceeded to narrate our explorations. From the big grin on her face, I think she enjoyed herself... could have been the hot chocolate.

As a science nerd who grew up/lives in a coastal town, I love this post! I probably spent more time hunting around in tidepools than I did at school when I was little! ;)
