You have to watch out for loose seals. They can bite your hand off!

Wow - good thing I didn’t know that, or I’d have had even more hsyterics!

Ages ago, when the kids were little, we spend a Christmas holiday in a cottage close to one of those rocky shores. One day they got into the water (the kids, that is - fully dressed!) and once they were got out, I saw another head in the water, quite close to shore. I thought one of them had crept back in again - but they were all accounted for … it was one of these bachelor seals, who had come in to shore to see what was happening …!
