The Swamp
So yesterday my mum and my sister and a neighbour and i were bored and so ventured up to lower Halstow (hereafter refered to as 'the swamp' or 'land of the Downey Bird') and walked on this weirdo beach (taking special care to avoid passing ducks) The deal is that this big part of the land used to be a brick works where they melted down old crokery and glass into bricks, the factory no longer stands but the beach and just below the topsoil is filled with bricks and MILLIONs of really old plates and bottles and stuff, all smashed up obviously but terribly attractive and interesting to an arty person like my mum. I found some bit of bottles which were only half melted and looked really cool, and an arm from a porecelain figure, just the arm. Also we found the one intact thing on the whole massive beach, a little glass jar packed with mud which stopped it breaking. All in all this proved a brilliant way to procrastinate and avoid revising for a day, now i've just got the fort Pitt prom to distract me. Bizarrely i have completely abandoned the rented tux i would have got from Burtons in favour of something more personal, i have bought trousers and shoes from Dockside and my Grandad has lent me his dinner Jacket, plus My mother has this great chinesey material for a bow tie and cumberbunbunbunbubunbund. That's all for now i think...
