It's only just down the road. It would not be beyond the realms of possibility for me to go and see them but I don't suppose I will.

Nobody has mentioned it locally but I have just seen in the paper that we have a huge school, some hundred or more, of starry smoothound sharks in the Medmerry lagoon.
