‘My new friend, I have become more familiar with you and recognise both your beauty and potential dangers. Each day I walk two, sometimes three hours beside you. I have walked alongside you in sunshine, rain, winds and hail and each day your character is different. I encounter dog walkers, fishermen, surfers and those like myself enjoying exercise in the fresh air, enjoying all you have to offer while contemplating life, reflecting and making plans. When you are low you retreat and unveil mile upon mile of golden sand, scattered with pebbles of every size and colour; shells too that glint in the sunshine like jewels covering your shore. I listen to the hiss of your receding waves which is carried by the breeze, as the undertow draws your sand with it.’
