Gorgeous! What a beautiful and perfect place to spend Christmas. Beautiful pics–just read above that you were able to get the conch out with the stick. Whew!

Wishing you all the best for the new year Miriam! Cheers!

Hi Tricia, so good to hear from you. Here’s the update: I pulled the conch out of the shell with a stick. And I only gagged four times!!! I threw it into the garden and I’m sure some cat or raccoon feasted upon it shortly thereafter. Yick!

Benign neglect cleans shells perfectly well – if you put it into the open air and visit it again in the spring, the fallout will be minimal.

Here’s to a wonderful 2010, Miriam! I am in Australia all of January, but hope to see you when I get back.
