I'll always remember a class project I did at Primary School in the 60s, called "At and Around our Beach", with a large section devoted to the plants we found there (I still have my project book, with plant drawings, ID, descriptions etc - marvellous).

We used to walk out the gate at the bottom of the garden, and descend a long set of stairs to the beach. I miss this, even though the nearest beach is only 10 miles away, lol!
Yes, this blog is fascinating! :-)
