Lovely photos and beautiful words – carry the starfish, back to the sea… yes, the sea creatures must be thankful for the moon for the high tides to bring them back to the sea.

Thank you for your kind words Miriam 💜 This is what normally happens and on this morming the big waves had left some starfish on the beach. I carried one back to the water and when another dog walker saw what I was doing she too picked one up and carried it back to the water. They were the only starfish we saw and hopefully they will be OK ☺💖 xxx
