Clear the Beach

 I went back down to see how they were getting on with the boardwalk. I took a rubbish bag with me since I was going almost to the Dell. I noticed someone walking down with a shovel which I have also done previously to fill in huge craters dug by teenagers during party time.  Turns out this is my recently moved in neighbour. He has been concerned with the state of the dried seagrass covering the sand. I said to him previously that the council has cleaned this up by scraping it and burying it.  Some body help him!  He was using a pitch fork and was trying to clear the beach by himself.  Not just any pitchfork! One that he heated in the furnace to bend the tynes at right angles so better to drag the grass he says. He is 80 something years old!   He'd been at it nearly 40 minutes and said he had had enough for now.  I only had my thongs but he went home before I could help him on the quest.  

Continuing on towards the boardwalk, there is now a pontoon in place and they have driven ten or so pylons into the sand.  It seems the clifton spring water is going to take a hit but I think it will continue to bubble up once they have finished construction.  In my rubbish bag I placed one plastic lid, one drink can, one straw, one plastic ziplock bag and two cigarette butts.

All I want is a path thru to the water

I assume these will be cut lower
