Went on a harbourside walk with Tidelines Book Festival this morning. Perfect weather for it. Surprising how many literary connections there are with the area. Finished up in the bookshop. Would have been rude not to buy a book...or two, don't you think.

As a kid, I loved scampering along the strand-line at the beach looking for shells and treasures.
Now it’s always a dispiriting parade of plastic crap - discarded fishing rope, bottles, shoes, and a million smaller fragments.
I’m only 40 - how did we let it get so bad so fast?!
