Helpful Strangers

It's been raining for 4 days straight, and looks set to continue. The wwoofers are making lemon butter at present and the boys are watching Top Gear 'American Adventure' with their Dad. Eating raisin toast and peaches. All is good in the world if I don't think about all the gardening I need to be doing....
Anyway, thought I'd let you know that we have identified the 'glotta' (interesting and beautiful little sea creature we found a while back) - with the help of a few wonderful people we met on the oyster barge. I was chatting about our new 'discovery' to them and two separate people offered to get on the case and do some research.
I have since received two lovely emails with links to pages and books which id the little critter as a Bullina Lineata or 'red-lined bubble snail'. It is between 15 and 25 mm long and exists all over our the Asia Pacific region.
Now the really cool thing about all of this is realising how many people are willing to help you, share information, pool resources and offer suggestions when they find out you home school. Yes, I have come across a few naysayers but by far and away most people are supportive, interested and encouraging.
Yay to them! After all as the old saying goes - "it takes a village to raise a child".
