Yesterday I went on a day trip to
Robin Hood's Bay in Yorkshire and was delightfully surprised to discover the Yorkshire Coast Dinosaur & Fossil museum. If you are ever in the area then it is well worth a visit.
I couldn't resist buying a piece of
fossilized dinosaur poo, which just goes to show that you
can indeed polish a ****.

Me: Is this really dinosaur poo?
Curator: Yes, it is?
Me: Where does it come from?
Curator: From America. America is
full of it!
Me: It still is...

Robin Hood's Bay, so called because according to the legend, Robin Hood defeated a bunch of French pirates here and distributed the booty to the poor-folk of the village. The beach makes for a fantastic walk and you will likely find some interesting shells and maybe even a fossil or two. |
