All my dogs love the water, so we get off to the beach as often as we can. Browsing some photo's this morning, I came across a lovely one of our dogs enjoying a day out in Walton on the Naze. The next one is Lulu collecting oysters from the muddy shore at Canvey Island, and the bizzare Scallop (not oyster as some think) shell is a sculpture on the beach at Aldburgh in Suffolk, which is in fact a shingle beach with no shells at all! It is there to commemorate the composer Benjamin Britten who used to walk on this beach, with the inscription from one of his works,
"I hear the voices that will never drown".
Our own stretch of the Thames too has an unusual sculpture, The Diver, in fact it is the only sculpture in the Thames, it is hardly known by anyone, hidden away on the Rainham Marshes, but it is a great and isolated windswept place for walking with the dogs (I'd better keep that to myself)! http://www.thediversculpture.com/gallery/escape/
