Beach ramble

Nick took us to “the place where shoes go to die” – a little bay a short walking distance along the beach from James’ Bay. It’s the most curious thing – the current washes up old shoes here and just a tiny bit of other rubbish. There were probably well over a hundred bits of footwear scattered around in all sizes and styles. I noted that it’s more of a shoe-afterlife though and less of a burial ground as it seems to be mostly just the “soles” that wash up. The boys had a great scavenger hunt for interesting shells and sea-urchin skeletons while Nick and I took photos of the rockpools and formations. Interesting to see this green seaweed growing in a rockpool.
