Thankings.

We would like to thank the following characters for participating in our ShellieTastic adventure and hope that they had a ShellieTastic time while taking part in this story!

Introduction

Over the passing tides, The Shellies have turned their floating hidey hole homes on the beach into the sort of dwellings which were fit and proper for all hardworking, clever thinking, creative, brave Shellies.

It was after watching driftwood floating in the sea that Crabby had been inspired to have a doodle, followed by a thought or so till it dawned on him how he could create a floating hidey hole. By attaching ropes to the four corners of the bamboo floating platform and securing them to nearby rocks this ensured that the hidey holes would remain on the beach and didn't was out to sea and go sailing off into the sunset!

Each home has been decorated and furnished with great imagination and loving care. The homes truly reflect the individual characters of each one of the pals. For example, Barnacles pad is light, airy with next to no furniture apart from a table crafted from driftwood and barrels which were found on the shore along Shellie Bay as the friends were searching for inspiration to help them complete one of their songs.
