Hi, Here i am in sunny, mostly, Bournemouth UK.
I hate to say it but I am doing the tourist thing this week. Please somebody save me and take me Barton. .
Just round the Corner from the hotel there is a small museum packed with fossils and some minerals on the lower floor. Here is the url http://bnss.org.uk.
Wonderful volunteer showed me the collections and besides what is in the cabinets there are drawers filled to the brim. As it is a charity and only open to the public on Tuesday's, more often over the holidays, donations are very welcome.
I have photos to share but need to get home first to download. Loads of Barton stuff.
They have other galleries such as Archaeology, Egyptology, real mummy in a sarcophagus. Stuffed animals etc.
Watch this space.
