SEAHAM

BEEN TO SEAHAM AGAIN

I TIMED THE VISIT FOR LOW TIDE

BUT AS THE WIND WAS SO STRONG

THE WIND BLOWN SAND HAD SCATTERED ACROSS THE PEBBLED AREAS WHERE THE IT'S BEST TO LOOK FOR SEA GLASS

SO WITH HINDSIGHT PERHAPS IT MAY BE BEST TO TIME FUTURE VISITS

AS THE TIDE GOES OUT

BUT CARE MUST BE TAKEN AS THE WAVES AT SEAHAM CAN BE VERY VERY WILD.

DESPITE THE WIND BLOWN SAND PROBLEM... WITH A BIT OF SCRAPPING PLENTY OF GLASS WAS FOUND.

BELOW THE DAY'S FIND INCLUDING A BRASS G FOR GLASS

THE BEAUTY BELOW WAS BURIED IN SAND AND LOOKED LIKE A SHELL.

A LADY CAME AND ENQUIRED WHAT I WAS DOING

BENT OVER SEARCHING ON THE BEACH.

"SEA GLASS" I REPLIED

SHE SAID THAT IT WAS HER FIRST SEA GLASS HUNT AT SEAHAM

SHE TOLD ME OF A BEACH UP NORTH WHERE LARGE GLASS CAN BE FOUND

BUT TOO BIG TO MAKE JEWELLERY
MUST GO !!!!

THERE WAS A NICE VARIETY OF COLOURS TODAY...

SEA GLASS LOOKS STUNNING WHEN WET
BUT CAN LOOK DULL WHEN DRY

I HAVE RUBBED A FEW PIECES WITH OLIVE OIL

AT THE MOMENT THEY HAVE KEPT THEIR SHINE

Arrived around 7 am ...in car again for Bonnie's sake.
The sky turned from pink to yellow and for a short while I stood and watched the Sun make a short but brilliant appearance ,long tall shadows and the sand dunes lit up.Moments later the Sky turned to pink again , then slowly merged into grey .
As i write, the rain is bouncing down.
