Yeah Penarth ?  Not so near Swansea as I'd like kiddo !!!  Southerndown is a good source also but not so near now either  :'(

Got the tools just need the place near now - a dinosaur or two wouldn't go amiss either !!  big bucks for them  ;D

never say never!!!! i was just amazed how they were all just there on the beach, trust me to come back with 2 huge bits of rock with the fossils in them...they look like ammonites (is that the right word?) although im no expert!!
you gotta have a dream!! although mine is to find a hammy at the moment (easily pleased!!! lol)
