We didn't find any money, but John found a big bit of old rope... and we found a lot of other stuff on the small beach at the Hot Walls.

Flowers, cable ties, fishing line & floats, beer caps, plastic bottle tops, lipstick, pens and lots of cigarette ends..... they were all there. Well done to Maxine, Lynn, John, Vicki and Manuel for joining me for this successful hour in between the showers.

This is a satisfying beach to clean - quick results and a sense of achievement knowing that a multitude of items won't be washed out into the sea at the next high tide.

And we enjoyed playing Lynn's beach-cleaning guessing game, called "Seaweed or plastic, feather or straw"!!

Thank you Maxine & Manuel for the photos!
