- By Ian McMillan
A litre of sea.
An unhappy jellyfish.
A small piece of lifeboat.
A pencil wrapped around with seaweed.
A soaking feather.
The first page of a book called ‘Swimming is Easy’
A folded chart showing dangerous rocks.
A photograph of a little girl in a red dress.
A gold coin.
A letter from a mermaid.
This website was invented many years ago, when the author kept coming across interesting things in pockets whilst doing laundry. Like small, terrified reptiles. Blogging about raising children in the rainforest, moving them to the UK and watching them leave home one by one to have their own adventures has gradually been replaced by a return to grownup life for their mother, Nan Sheppard, who is an anthropologist, writer and public international law consultant.
