๐ท We love it when people who attend our beach cleans send us pictures of the 'treasures' they find when they do their own beach cleans!
๐ค Like Grace, who sent us these pictures... Is the crisp packet a Tesco one from the 60s or 70s?!

๐ We did a beach clean with some students and they found these Smartie Lids
๐ฎ These type of lids where made between 1988 and 2005
โ Which makes them at least twice as old as the children who found them and had never seen them before
