Many of the gabions have now been reconstructed and parts of the beach between the barricades are almost reverting to 'normal'. Until you get to the heaps of huge bags at the north end of the erosion works zone, you can almost forget about the diggers and industrial scale intervention of the last three months.
Huge flints have been imported to the beach (from where?) to construct the gabions and strange blue and yellow hieroglyphics have appeared on the stones.
A new discovery: our lovely puppy not only loves to dig, jump and swim - he now likes to climb cliffs too...
There are signs of recent cliff falls (not puppy-induced) and the old high tide mark (weed and rubbish) pushes right up to the base of the cliff, surrounding the wild lupins.
The 'dusk' sky and light on the sea are stunning as we walk back along the shore. We find a smartie top just as we climb back up the shingle to leave the beach. A periwinkle is in flower at the top of the beach.
Not much to carry today - an unremarkable collection...
