Eight Arms To Hold You*
Notes From The Downs
The South Downs is home to many habitats and one of these is the sweeping, iconic chalk-cliffed coastline. Last Thursday was World Ocean Day and to celebrate I was going to explore the stories and lore of the seahorse, two species of which live in the seas off the south coast. I was going to include lore associated with water horses, so you can magine my dismay when I realised I’ve already written a post on these creatures here. In fact it’s one of my top posts!
I love water horse stories but you’ve heard me tell them before and given the seahorse has very little folklore of its own, other than its undeniable charm, today, a little later than planned, I am instead exploring the world of the octopus and its giant watery cousin, the Kraken! So here goes with a Kraken read.
