At the sea-side...

Saw an GINORMOUS jellyfish washed up on the sand.  On the Pembroke coast.

 Seriously, the umbrella bit (pale blue, with a gorgeous royal blue scalloped edge) was at least 70cms across, the frilly dangly things pink on one side, blue on the other.

 At the first mention of the word JELLYFISH the two year old  niece (the one that wants to be a Girl Pirate) swarmed straight up onto my shoulders, and refused to set toe to sand for a good 20 minutes afterwards.  I swear she has prehensile feet, or suckers of some sort - you can't detach her once settled.

 As she pronounces it JELLYFIIIIIIIIIISHESSSSS, with a long hiss, it was disturbingly like being assaulted by Gollum in an all-in-one floral bathing suit.
