Congratulations to Vivi and Sean for their new little boy Bobby Rae.  Isn’t he a sweety.

All our best wishes go out to you guys. xx

What a Cutie!

I have just put all the new stock for my Water Worn Jewellery online.  There are some lovely pieces including one which is particularly rare, a double glass necklaces from Hells Mouth beach, 2 of only 4 pieces of glass found all summer.

Please take a look by following the link at the top of the page!

We had a great summer up in North Wales.  My Water Worn jewellery went well and seemed to get a good reception, along with Donny’s boards from Still Stoked.  We met up with some old friends and made some new ones and Ocean loved the sea!

The beach at Porth Neigwl, Hells Mouth, is so wonderful,  nearly 4.5miles of sand and shingle where the sea can be as placid as a lake but it can also live up to it’s name!  At low tide there is plenty of room to practice a Tai Chi form or two.

Unfortunately due to the amount in the sea, this beach gets huge loads of plastic and other rubbish brought in on the tides and left by the tourists.  It is such a shame and because plastic doesn’t break down like glass or pot it will remain on the sea and in our sands for a very long time.  The plastic is easy to spot when it is still in bottle form or lightly broken down but there is a lot more that is unseen within the sand itself and in even smaller pieces; “Recently scientists discovered microscopic pieces of plastic can be found everywhere in the ocean, even inside plankton…” (Hands on Oceanography)

The photo above shows one of the smaller tidal dumps of plastic and other waste.

However, humans do occasionally leave less invasive and distinctly more aesthetically pleasing things behind…

Well unless we are being invaded by Maka Pakas……..

I hope everyone had a good August even if it was maybe not the weather we were expecting.  North Wales was as lovely as normal with very little changing up at the top end of Porth Neigwl beach (Abersoch is, of course, a different matter!)

Thanks to (although not the best term to use) Donny spraining his arm, so badly the whole thing has swollen up and so no more surfing for him, we are home early and I have managed to sneak in my last archery lesson.  So…

Woolaston – Classes normal time including 14th September.  Sorry to mess you around.

All other clubs are business as usual. See you all Monday or Tuesday!
