Paul Board's diary excerpt from the day – “Angie (Paul’s wife) kindly took me for a drink at The Beachcomber, Llandulas where I saw (and felt under my feet) some slimy odd things on the beach, and there were thousands of them, looking like a carpet of glistening bubble-wrap: Referral to my Beachcombing book tells me that they are Sea Gooseberries. An individual sea gooseberry's body length can reach up to 20 mm so that’s about right by the photos, and they are 99% water.”
