Beachcombed 74 August 1, 2016
Author: Beach Combing | in : Beachcombed , trackback
Dear Reader, another difficult month: the strange ebb and flow of ‘luck’ is a fascinating subject. Many hours in hospital after a Dutch friend of Beach managed to break his heel in the Beach garden and needed a translator and a bodyguard (angry nurses). A tortoise escaped and is MIA and another lost an eye (!?!) and is presently in a miserable state. Beach has called a halt to historical images and links for the summer but should, God willing, start again in September. Thanks for all those who wrote with good wishes and links. The best of last month can be found below.
