Description:
Today we are in West Wemyss you may recall that name! It is ubiquitous in this area and has a far reaching influence in the Kingdom of Fife! The area was once famous for coal production.

The bay is rock strewn so many gorgeous pebbles, and natural sandstone erosion on the bay. The day begins slowly, we find little at first as we make our way along to Blair Point. The rock formations, cliff collapse and today's rough seas make this an amazing place to spend some time pondering the millions of years over which coal formed here in the earths layers, trapping plants and animals as it formed!

The area is designated for special conservation this and many of the areas along the coast here are famous for fossils. For that reason, no hammering of the bedrock is permitted... We meander and see what the area has to offer have we found fossilised grasses and plant matter!?

There is much to find without the need for a hammer though and we think we happened across a fossilised crab claw! It might be that we found a stone crab's broken claw! If it is a fossil, which we still need to confirm, then it is at least 10,000 years old! We must get up to speed on fossils!

We amass a really nice collection of things today well worth the trip! Among them a beautiful piece of flash glass, a lovely little blue shard, though we are really happy with the 1930s Jarry can cap! It really inspires thoughts about how it got here, who used it back in the war years and beyond! Little things like this really make us happy! And... so does our wee spoon lovely to find a nice range of things!

We return home where Nicole makes some lovely pieces of jewellery from today's finds and includes some unique pebble jewellery... Oh! That wee wishing stone is a lovely thing!

We are in for a real treat today as we get to open the gift package sent to us by Kit & Caboodlers its amazing, such a wonderful collection of really lovely finds and crafted pieces! So many nice things, thank you!! They are too nice to stay in a box, so we thought we would make use of a shadow frame to display some of the wonderful wee trinkets we are so lucky to have!

We hope you enjoyed today's video... Thank you so much!

Update on Scotland's COVID restrictions
We continue to follow restrictions so that we can work safely, responsibly, and legally.

Guidelines in Scotland have now changed. We are now allowed to meet outside with two others from another household. Being the very careful pair that we are, we will maintain our stricter approach with the aim that, if we don't meet up with anyone, we hope everyone can begin to enjoy a life like the one we all knew a year ago.

Our policies

Since March 2020, we have met with no one at all and we continued to isolate even when restrictions were relaxed.

We never film in a busy location aside from maintaining isolation, we could not make restful, calming, or relaxing content in a busy area.

Since March 2020 we have restricted our travel to distances that allow us to get to our location, film our content, and return home, without ever visiting local amenities, entering any buildings etc. This gives us a reasonable window to work in while also maintaining that we are not out for very long.

We only film once a week, and we always do that midweek. If we arrive in an area and people are present, we leave without getting out of the car.

Our policies are simple and entirely concerned with maintaining social distancing so that we can be safe and so that we can ensure the safety of others. We will continue to follow these policies fully, and we will cease outdoor filming altogether should government guidance change.
