Talbennyhall’s Weblog

I’m a compulsive beachcomber, as you would see from the assortment of colourful floats, buoys, scraps of fishing nets, rope, driftwood, pebbles and shells which are so tastefully (?) adorning various corners of Talbenny Hall and the cottages.  I’ve also constructed cupboards, shelves, coat hooks and boat sculptures from my findings, but it is becoming more and more difficult.  Is it because there is less flotsam and jetsam as the world becomes more environmentally aware?  No not really, it’s those jolly nice people who think that their role in life is to scour Marloes beach and the like, and to clear it of all the ‘rubbish’ (their view) or ‘treasure’ (my view) so that we can have a sanitised environment so loved by those people who, but for the recession would be lying on some ‘hoovered’ beach on one of the Costas!  So please leave the beaches alone, or at least stop nicking all the treasures and just take away the genuine rubbish and litter (if you can distinguish the difference) and let me and those of my ilk get back to making driftwood sculptures and generally littering our properties with beach treasures!!!!!!!!!!!
