Well! That didn't work did it?

Tried blogging the photo from Picasa but desn't seem to have worked, so, hopefully, herewith!

So quick & simple - and done.

As you might be able to guess, I haven't got my camera back yet!

But I was feeling a bit guilty about failing Alex, so I had this great idea to use the webcam on my eeepc.

Couldn't get it quite right (actually was trying to photograph six shells I picked up today!)

It was very stormy yesterday and there was fresh pier debris. I love the beach in a storm - I love the beach. (That's 'full stop')

Hello there!

Hi, I am Alex's solution; my name is Lexie Godbehere and Alex has asked me to take over his blog for a while. He has asked Sandy (Sandy Godbert) too, but she hasn't answered yet.

As is so often the way, my new, birthday camera had to go in to be repaired the same day Alex contacted me. (Lens error!) So you will have to wait for photos but I have collected lots of things!

First shells; I read somewhere on the web that because Hastings is a pebble beach there are no shells. Load of....!

And you may have heard that our pier got a bit burnt; there are loads of bits and pieces all over the beach so I picked up a couple.

Then, of course, there are the pebbles - every day I walk on the beach and every day I pick up pebbles, the shapes, the colours; of course, I do keep hoping I will find something worth lots of money, or of great importance.

I did find a mobile phone, still working and the owner was very pleased to get it back, and I found a pair of Prada sunglasses- well, it said PRADA on the side.

I am aware......

....I have been so caught up in family matters and other things I just haven't had time to blog, let alone beachcomb! I do have an idea in mind, so don't stop taking a quick peek occasionally and I will try and get my idea up and running.

Meanwhile, you might find this interesting (well, I did!) -
