She sells sea shells on the sea shore. Apparently, the old tongue twister is still as relevant today as ever, having just learned that the smaller Truncate Donax below the cockle (if Google Lens is to be believed) can fetch between 2 and 4 USD!
These two were found cosying up to each other on Camber Sands beach at low tide.
