| I would love some of these natural sculptures for my garden but would need a crane and a lowloader to get them there. |

Until that breeze filled in it was a bleachingly hot day which I spent sitting in the shade reading a book about Pearl Witherington.

ReplyDeleteI've heard Oystercatchers on mass being referred to as a parcel... but also, on one occasion, as a stew. Take your pick. I love these beaches and assume they are just down from your plot? How wonderful. Some of the small driftwoods might be moveable on a hospital slipsheet (used for turning patients and cheap enought to buy - and very handy for shiftig all sorts of overweight stuff so worth having in the toolbox) - or tarpaulin. You could create your own sculpture much like you did with the bikes! YAM xx
This is the mole that enclosed Havelock Marina - about 12-15 miles from the plot by road. There are examples of driftwood closer to home but too far below the road. Beaches in the Sounds tend to be mud or oyster covered rocks. Ours is the later. Not enticing for swimming.
DeleteOh for a long beach with interesting stuff to examine and envision taking home.
ReplyDeleteWe used to find bits of net, holey rocks, old shoes and weather beaten logs on our winter beach. Some of the treasures are still in the garden. Plus old jandals from home. But no old shoes from the beach
I suspect our garden will look similar. I can't imagine the expense of dragging on a show piece - and who am I going to show it to? Better it stays on the beach where anyone can marvel at it. I've got rocks to play with (and plans to plant olive trees to go with them).
DeleteWhat a peaceful place!
ReplyDeleteI'm told that the collective noun for oystercatchers is a parcel or a stew.
It is a peaceful place despite being on a tourist route. Most don't venture out the path behind the mussel warehouses.
DeleteWell, according to the RSPB the collective noun for oystercatchers is a parcel.
ReplyDeleteThose pieces of driftwood are quite stunning. How far to drag them home? 🤔
About 15 miles!
Deletebeautiful place! The sky is SOOO blue! I looked up where that is on google earth- excellent location , not that far from London really. So says google. You need a mighty big dog to tote that driftwood home! How lucky to have sunshine and clear water! Gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteDistance from London 😆 Aeroplanes shorten it considerably over the time it took my immigrant forebears.
DeletePS you are right the sky is startling - I hadn't really paid attention to that! It seems in reality less blue than in the photographs.
