I swear a sea glass fairy was washed up in the storms the other week! Today's treasures include a red piece and a spoon 🥄. Oh yes, and seeing a Shetland pony running round the beach!! #seaglass #beachglass #beachtreasure #beachcombing #beach #glass #potteryshards #shells #redseaglass #spoon (at Bordeaux Beach)

We might hate storms for various reasons - travel disruption, downpours just when we get out of the car, garden furniture blowing away etc etc - but they're great for beach combing! Two diddy little dark blue bits and an orange which I understand is very rare, as well as some driftwood sticks #seaglass #beachglass #glass #beachtreasure #blueseaglass #orangeseaglass #stormyweather #afterthestorm

Another perfect day for treasure hunting (except hubby got a bit bored and cold - it is only 5 degrees at the mo). AND I found my first blue so very pleased with that! Happy treasure hunting in 2017 everyone xx #beach #beachcombing #seaglass #glass #beachtreasure #beachtreasures #shells #winteronthebeach (at Amarreurs)

Walked off some of the Christmas excess this morning and combined it with a bit of beach combing. Who can see Africa? #beachcombing #beachcombing #beach #seaglass #shells #potteryshards #pottery #driftwood #unidentifiedobjectwithahole (at Bordeux)
