MIDDLETON 14 NOV 2010

I WENT DOWN TO MIDDLETON MID AFTERNOON

IN THE HUNT FOR SOME DRIFTWOOD

AS I ARRIVED A BOAT WAS COMING IN TO PORT

ST HILDA'S CHURCH IS IN THE BACKGROUND.

AGAIN ST HILDA'S CAN BE SEEN IN THE BACKGROUND.

RECENT ROUGH WEATHER HAD WASHED AWAY LOTS OF SAND,

IN MIDDLETON'S CASE THIS RESULTED IN LOTS OF STONES AND BRICKS.

I MANAGED TO COLLECT SOME DRIFTWOOD

AND MORE SEA GLASS AT MIDDLETON
