Sea defences

Just a few photos to show how the beach has been eroded, and also how massive our wonderful sea defences are, though they will need serious work now to fix areas where the waves have eroded them, thirty or forty feet at least below the usual beach level. Look carefully and you can see some daft person is actually STANDING inside the hole at the bottom of the wall! Also this shows our newly discovered sandy beach.

I'm glad there are plenty of people around just to give a sense of scale. Normally only the top bit of wall and the top of the first concrete step. Until this winter we didn't even realise the two lower slipways existed as they had never been uncovered, now the lower end of the one in the foreground dangles uselessly about six foot above the shingle. There won't be any fishing here for a bit until the men work out how to get the few undamaged boats anywhere near the sea.
