Ever since I was a boy, when much of time was spent on the beach
on England's South coast, I have always collected stones, most of which got thrown away. This piece in chalk, shaped by sea and creatures, I found in recent years and kept because it has a shell trapped in the central hole.
Perhaps the creature who inhabited the shell and has now escaped or been eaten, was tiny when it found its way into the chalk crater and then, as it grew, it was unable to get out. That's what I like to think anyway.
