The current is strong, the net pulls....air bubbles amongst the glimmers...downwards dragging, deeper and deeper...twisting and turning...down...down...

The net is wrapping, sinuous, strong. Deeper, darker, colder...... still. Silent.

The tempo is quickening....the breeze grows in strength....something is brewing.

A stronger current, colder, deeper waters, a more insistent tug to the depths.

The common winkle is a lovely little thing that come in a variety of colours and shades. Yellows are my favourite and I can't resist picking them up. I do always check to make sure that no one is home before they head to my pocket. They look like little jewels in the rockpools and washed up on the shore. As you can see the child in me still sorts them into colours.

I think I may have collected rather a lot over the years....
