Wow! I'd love to hear squeaky sand. It sounds fascinating. Australia is a most wonderful place

It is, isn't it? Although, as someone very paranoid I think I'd be terrified of audible sand at first

That made me chuckle I'd be fine with vocal sand. It's what's in the sea that I'm paranoid about

Ah, and on that we are on the same page! I won't give a hoot who hears me screaming like there's no tomorrow at a beach when anything brushes up against my legs underwater!

When my children were young we played ball in the water. The rule was that if the ball was thrown into the deeper water I'd be the one to swim out and get it. I had 6 children and did not want them scattering and swimming in all directions. Heaven only knows what was lurking nearby I'm more prudent these days

'Heaven only knows what was lurking nearby' perfectly captures my thought process every time I'm out in water over three feet deep! Haha I wish I had a mum like you
