When people travel to the seaside, they charge head long for the beach, the boats and the ice cream; thats normal enough; I'm a bit like that as well. But this summer on your next jaunt to the coast, slow down a littlle and look around as you rush to the beach.

The above are fishermen's lockups at Beer in Devon. They are litterally ten yards off the shingle beach and they full to the brim with feelings, textures and what the seaside is all about. Looking at how doors are cared for and the fishing detritius lying aroud, tells you so much about the place.

Today is a big day as I have finnshed my latest maritime sculpture. The glass and frame has been attached to the work. So now it has to be left for the glue to dry for twentyfour hours, then comes the sanding and painting, which is followed by the attachment of the frame furnature {hooks, eyes and hanging cord), then comes the provonance certificate which has to be to glued on the rear. Picture will appear shartly.

See you soon. Charles
