We both love bowls of pebbles and baskets of shells and have spent many happy hours pottering on beaches, so our latest collection of poetry was obvious - beaches and beachcombing, shells and pebbles, tides and shorelines ... in fact, everything about being beside the sea.Our previous anthologies are Washing Lines: A collection of poems (about laundry and washing) and Strings of Pearls: A collection of poems (about jewels and jewellery).
