OLD TOWN BEACH 14 02 11

ARRIVED AT 4 10 PM ON WAY HOME FROM WORK

ON THE HUNT FOR SMALL PIECES OF DRIFTWOOD

THE BEACH IS NEAR HARTLEPOOL MARINA

WHERE OLD TOWN USED TO BE. THE BEACH WAS MAINLY SEA COAL

THERE WERE SOME NICE PIECES OF WOOD

I LIKE TO FIND PIECES WITH LOTS OF PATTERNS
ON THEM.



ARGHHHHH
BELOW
IS
AN OLD PHOTOGRAPH
THOUGHT TO BE A FAMILY CONNECTION
SADLY IT HAS ONLY APPEARED AS THE SIZE OF A POSTAGE STAMP
THE PHOTOGRAPH WAS TAKEN AROUND THE AREA I WAS VISITING TODAY
ALL WE NEED IS A PC GURU TO TELL ME HOW TO MAKE THE IMAGE LARGE
FEEL FREE TO SAY ON COMMENTS OPTION

IT WAS RAINING AS IT DID THE WHOLE WALK.

MY SEAGLASS/DRIFTWOOD THINGS.

Shop

WAS GOING TO SAY NO BEACH TODAY... BUT DID GO ON,ON WAY TO WORK

ONLY FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES.

ON THE WAY HOME FROM WORK I CALLED IN TO A SHOP THAT I PASS EVERY DAY

BUT HAD NEVER BEEN IN.

IT WAS A FISHING TACKLE SHOP.

THE MAN IN THE SHOP WAS EVER SO HELPFUL

AND KEEN TO KNOW WHAT TYPE OF FISHING I WAS DOING.

WHEN I EXPLAINED ABOUT THE SEA GLASS/ DRIFTWOOD COMBOS

HE WAS INTERESTED.

I HAVE TOLD HIM I WILL TAKE HIM ONE.

BELOW ARE SOME OF THE DIFFERING ITEMS

THAT I BOUGHT TODAY.

BELOW THE TRACK IN THE SAND DUNES TO THE BLUE LAGOON.
NOT AS MUCH WATER AS USUAL ,TRAPPED IN THE BLUE LAGOON.

AN AREA OF THE BLUE LAGOON BEACH SEEMED TO HAVE LOST A LOT OF SAND.
THE WEATHER HADN'T BEEN ROUGH,
THIS PEBBLE STREWN AREA AND THIS OLD TIMBER WERE EXPOSED.




THE WHITE LINE IS SHELL THAT HAS BEEN LEFT ALONG A TIDE LINE.

TIMBER AND CRAB POT

ANOTHER COLOUR FISHING LINE TO THE COLLECTION.

A RED BAG

THE STUMP BELOW IS SOMETIMES VISABLE

IT WAS THE MORE EXPOSED THAN I HAVE EVER SEEN IT

IT SEEMED TO BE JOINED TO SCRAP STEEL

A JOIST WAS LAID NEARBY

SEATON CAREW & BLUE LAGOON 29 JAN 2011

ARRIVED AROUND 7 AM

IT WAS A LOVELY STILL MORNING
BELOW...THE BLUE LAGOON.

AFTER LEAVING THE BLUE LAGOON

AND CLAMBERING OVER THE NORTH GARE

THE VILLAGE OF SEATON CAREW WAS BATHED IN BRIGHT MORNING

SUNSHINE.

THE DAY'S FINDS.....

I FASTENED SOME OF THE YELLOW FISHING LINE I FOUND TODAY

AS A TIE ON THE "G" PIECE OF DRIFTWOOD

SO NOW IT CAN BE HUNG

I THINK THE YELLOW GOES WELL WITH THE DARK COLOUR OF THE WOOD

AND THERE IS THE ADDED BENEFIT OF ME REMOVING
FISHING LINE FROM THE BEACH :-)
