This is the ultimate beachcomber's book. A series of meditations prompted by walking on the wild estuarial beaches of Ainsdale Sands between Blackpool & Liverpool, Strands is about what is lost & buried then discovered, about all the things you find on a beach, dead or alive, about flotsam & jetsam, about mutability & transformation
- about sea-change. Every so often the sands shift enough to reveal great mysteries: the Star of Hope, wrecked on Mad Wharf in 1883 & usually just visible as a few wooden stumps, is suddenly raised one day, up from the depths
- an entire wreck, black & barnacled, & on either side two more ruined ships, taking the air for a while before sinking back under the s&. & stranger still, perhaps, are the prehistoric footprints of humans, animals & birds on the beach: prints from the Late Mesolithic to mid-Neolithic period which are described as 'ephemeral archaeology' because they are preserved in the Holocene sediment, revealed briefly & then destroyed by the next tide. Strands describes a year's worth of walking on the ultimate beach: inter-tidal & constantly turning up revelations: mermaid's purses, lugworms, sea potatoes, messages in bottles, buried cars, beached whales & a perfect cup from a Cunard liner. Jean Sprackl&, a prize-winning poet & natural storyteller, is the perfect guide to these shifting sands
- this place of transformation.
