flyintheface: death by plastic
http://flyintheface.blogspot.com/2013/03/death-by-plastic.html
Saturday, 9 March 2013. Today's news provides graphic evidence of the harm plastics in our oceans cause to marine life: a sperm whale has washed up in southern Spain with 17kg of plastics in its stomach. Thick transparent plastic sheeting, 9m of rope, hosepipe, plastic flower pots, a clothes hanger, an ice-cream tub and bits of mattress were among the items which caused the whale's death.

flyintheface: October 2013
http://flyintheface.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, 13 October 2013. A good place for a nuclear power station. I was devastated to see the coastal erosion at Thorpeness today. A single tide early on Saturday morning carried away literally thousands of tonnes of shingle in the strong northeasterly winds, leaving several houses vulnerable. My favourite footpath to the north end of the beach was severed, leaving a sheer 2.5 meter drop, and the sea defences (installed under the shingle just a couple of years ago) were suddenly stripped bare.

Wednesday, 21 March 2012. Trashion makes a splash! I really love the work of American artist, Marina DeBris, especially her Trashion couture: fashions made from street and washed-up beach trash.

flyintheface: January 2012
http://flyintheface.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 17 January 2012. I have a new helper when collecting on the beach. well, he's not exactly helping. In training. (believe me, he needs it! Our mad pup (who is nearly old enough to know better) now likes to collect plastics on the beach too. Here you can see him with a dustpan he found. but then lost. With helpers like this, I am finding it hard to have enough hands to collect and carry rubbish, take photos and. Prevent strangers from being 'bounced'! Life can be tough on the beach.

http://flyintheface.blogspot.com/2013/08/sweet-nothings-on-beach.html
Thursday, 29 August 2013. Sweet NOthings on the beach. Just returned from the best swim of the year: beach to myself (apart from the usual mad dog) and a warm steely sea. And no rubbish on the beach - just one sweet NOthing. That's the way I like it. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

flyintheface: November 2013
http://flyintheface.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 13 November 2013. I have just had a wonderful weekend exhibiting Pilotage,. A collaboration with Ian McMillan for the Aldeburgh Poetry Festival. At our book signing for Pilotage: collected works. My half hour of fame; it felt so good.). Ian performed his short poem inspired by the fragment of a danger sign we found washed up on the beach near Sizewell. But how, we were asked, did we know it was part of a danger sign? Mightn't it instead be a sign for MANGETOUT from a greengrocer's?

Wednesday, 23 January 2013. Since moving to our woodland home 11 years ago, we have done everything we can to provide a good habitat for wildlife. Some wildlife (the barn owl and grass snakes) is more welcome than others (abundant moles and daily herds of fallow deer) - but where should we draw the line? But this newest discovery certainly takes the biscuit. This mouse and its friends must have laboured for days to create this hoard - there was nearly a kilo of grain in my boots! It's not what we feed ou...
