The big storm cloud heading East
Strewth ! it's a long walk across the rocks & stones and water to get to the sand now - It's going to take a long time to build up the height of sand we had before
We've haven't seen it quite this stoney and rocky before - wonder where all the sand went !
Does the beach profile change every winter? Hopefully the sand that has been dragged out will return during the year.
ReplyDeleteYes Lynn, it often gets washed out, but takes a while to come back - need some calm weather for that !
DeleteWhen I opened the curtains I could see more brown water out there - hope that's not more sand heading out !
Remember when we had the cottage and I came down to decorate and open up for the season, Carbis Bay near St Ives had lots so much I had to slither down a 4/5ft bank to get down closer to the sea - got back in June and it was back to the lovely level beach again.
The beach looks like it has been dragged through a hedge backwards. How sad. I wonder how long it will take to get some sand back? I hope the four footed friends will not have too much difficulty getting over the rocks to the sand that's left.
ReplyDeleteI think it will be me that would struggle over that lot Gaynor - we've not been going down there as they seem to have forgotten that a) don't drink the seawater and b) raw seaweed makes you ill - it's fine if it's the dried stalks you find on Scilly. Hope the weather calms down and the sand starts to return !
