This large piece of drift wood arrived here last April and was named Lizzie.. quite a fuss was made of it with people coming to actually view it.
Children and some adults too climbed all over it and false bits added to make it look like a monster. Each high tide there were messages on Face Book asking was Lizzie still there and it survived till now, close on 9 months. The storm over the weekend with very high tides saw its end. Lifted by the crashing waves it ended up further along the coast, nearer the pier without its strutting legs and a badly bashed about.. Lizzie is no more!
Shame? But where did it come from? And when did such a great tree first fall.. a mystery, it will be missed.

That's massive.
ReplyDeleteI suppose this is the life of driftwood. Drifting through life, lol.
ReplyDeleteAble to read your blog again after a day when it wouldn't - this is getting more odd.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how old that tree trunk was and where it had been - a mystery never to be solved
Dizziness certainly looks like a sea monster! Yes, I do wonder where she came from, and how old she was. I love the whimsical way people decorate such things.
ReplyDeleteI can actually access your blog today, after months of being blocked! Long may it last.
ReplyDeletePoor Lizzie has travelled elsewhere to bring wonder to others' lives.
Wow, I can imagine the amazement when it first appeared
ReplyDeleteLizzie will live on as many smaller pieces of driftwood. :-)
ReplyDeleteAn interesting piece of natural wood architecture. A shame that Lizzie is no more.
ReplyDeleteThat was some tree to survive almost intact all this time.
ReplyDeleteA shame that Lizzie is no more!
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
