My friend from university has moved down to London and we have decided to keep our love for letter writing and the written word alive and be pen friends! I will also see who I meet at Groezrock Festival in Belgium and see if any new friends would care to be my pen friend also. I enjoy mail!
The Moustache Postits and Letter is from my new/old penfriend and the book is from another pal, both birthday presents! I have lovely friends!
Number Forty-Three: Steward Leeds Festival 2012
Crosby Beach
With the formality of the bucket list out of the way I can tell you all about my lovely trip to Crosby Beach on Thursday! A lovely pal of mine had returned from his duty to the Army for a few days and since I had the day off and he had a car we decided to head to the beach! We got lost though and this resulted in me shouting 'CROSBY' very loud whenever I saw it on a street sign, but we got there in the end so that is all that matters. I got very excited and started running around and playing on the sand dunes, Lee mainly laughed at this and took some pictures of me being a big kid:
Once over the dune we had a full view of the beach and the amazing, if not a little unsettling, installation by Anthony Gormley called 'Another Place' which consists of a hundred metallic life size statues of men facing the ocean. Standing at the edge of the water looking out to the horizon provides the eeriely beautiful sight of a multitude of figures half submerged in the water, anyone who didn't already know about the statues would instantly think that someone was in danger. Unfortunately I could not get a good photo of the men in the ocean as my blackberry camera is past it's prime and blurry as anything; but if you follow this link you can see an array of pictures of them:
And before I left I made sure I made my mark in the sand
It is a beautiful, inspiring, little beach which I think is way too underrated and plan on making many more trips there in the future.
