Your photos are splendid and evocative.<br /><br />Loved the glimpse of the fossils. There is a beach in Northern California north of Santa Cruz where I saw fossils many years ago with my Richard. It was likely December of 1970, just after he returned from Vietnam. The coast was our refuge.amhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09212213177713917828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319797996494487653.post-61205749969239741762012-12-12T20:57:56.014+00:002012-12-12T20:57:56.014+00:00I had never heard about Goat Island until I read a...I had never heard about Goat Island until I read a post on one of my bloggy friends last September. She even showed the walls of an old abandoned home there. I remember also that she said that during Victorian times farmers charged tourists to visit the island and served teas. But let me find the post for you – here it is, a September post in “Down by the Sea” http://downbytheseadorset.blogspot.com/2012/09/a-walk-in-english-jungle.html. She shows some nice photos too.Vagabondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774109692564954568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319797996494487653.post-58708722988419163502012-12-12T18:53:00.501+00:002012-12-12T18:53:00.501+00:00Interesting synchronicity here.

Some years ago, when I was reading everything I could find of John Fowles, I made my own little pilgrimage to Lyme Regis and walked out on that famous breakwater that is mentioned in "The French Lieutenant's Woman."<br />Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03959953035812596907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319797996494487653.post-15195030049013730792012-12-12T18:26:31.098+00:002012-12-12T18:26:31.098+00:00Err... no, not hidden, Ruth!Err... no, not hidden, Ruth!The Solitary Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11284354541952038339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319797996494487653.post-15900230222832734012012-12-12T17:54:27.580+00:002012-12-12T17:54:27.580+00:00Ahh, this tugs at all the [hidden?] romanticism in...Ahh, this tugs at all the [hidden?] romanticism inside me.
