End-of-the-Line Updates #2.5, #3 & #4 (with a touch of Glamour)

 I thought it was about time we had another End-of-the-Line update, considering that the last one was nearly two months ago (plus, this will get rid of another draft post that's been languishing since 18th August).  Aside from the rapidly disappearing End-of-the-Line, the local geography/geology seems to be getting back to normal thanks to the high tides and rough seas scouring away the fallen cliff detritus.

 This is a photo-heavy post so, like the last one, I'm not going to be doing much talking.

From 10th August:











Knobs!




Nubbins!


Uh, oh...

These from 17th August:

And, finally, these from yesterday:

While I was down there, I thought I might construct another stone spiral or two...



This yellow one is flanked by some interesting stones, including a fossil, a bit of sea glass, and what appears to be an ancient caveman carving in the biggest stone (it's probably not, though)



A black one with belemnites



And, finally, the glamorous Vos Glamour (standing in for the gorgeous Vos Gorgeous which is currently off the north coast of South America, in the vicinity of Trinidad and Tobago, along with the fabulous - and super-gay- Vos Fabulous!)

  1. The sheer destructive power of the sea is terrifying. And to think that all those bits of wood were once the hut of another witch to whom you took a dislike..

    1. Knobs, Nubbins & Knockers! Coming to a bookshop/theatre/seaside near you soon!

      Be careful what you wish for (or maybe "demand" is a better word?), for I might stop leaving it all on the beach and deport it from Norfolk...

  3. Nice to know you can "get wood" even on such a blustery day... Jx

  4. Wow! Those defences took a beating. I wonder if that little man's measuring instruments survived?
    I love sea glass, too, but I've never seen any up here.

    1. I'm going down shortly - no, not in relation to Jon's comment! - as it's low tide and I want to see where those two or three warped panels in the last photo from the 17th August ended up. I think any measuring devices left there would be smashed to smithereens by now.

      Perhaps the lack of sea glass where you are means that people are more careful about taking their litter away when they leave the beach?

    2. Those panels had completely disappeared - washed out to sea, I shouldn't wonder. But that little man and his measuring device was there.
      And I've just got back from another foray down to the beach, and he was there again!

  5. Draft posts languishing since 18th August? Try since 2010 in my case!

    1. 2010? Glurk!

      My oldest draft post is dated August 2014 - although, I believe it first took shape in 2009 as it features the original Coven, Dymo wheels, and a quick escape from the Brown Jelly Baby Universe...

Tickle my fancy, why don't you?
