Very dramatic, big portion of dramatic via monoku - I'm impressed. You gave me pause and I like it when that happens! All the best ... CayCay

So true, many do not think about sustainable tourism... Such a shame, we have lost so much already.. Great one liner Ann..

Thank you so much SO for your comments. Yes it certainly is a great problem, because these are areas of outstanding beauty and are therefore very popular places to visit. Glad you liked my poem and thanks for your visit, kindest thoughts Ann xx

oh gosh what a sad scene in so many ways Ann, we have an area in the north of our Island where the coastal erosion is so evident and they cant build houses within a certain area:-( Stay safe today with Freya approaching - the ferry (aka vomit comet) is going early today - i thought it would be cancelled lol:-) hugs Jan xx

We have an area of outstanding beauty called Birling Gap, close to Beachy Head and now owned by the National Trust, where there are frequent cliff falls onto the beach below and a few years back there was a massive fall, but thankfully no one was buried beneath it. I love the name of your boat, haha. Keep safe & have fun Jan xx
