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.
I suppose this is the life of driftwood. Drifting through life, lol.
Able to read your blog again after a day when it wouldn't - this is getting more odd.
I 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.
I can actually access your blog today, after months of being blocked! Long may it last.
Poor Lizzie has travelled elsewhere to bring wonder to others' lives.
Wow, I can imagine the amazement when it first appeared
Lizzie will live on as many smaller pieces of driftwood. :-)
An interesting piece of natural wood architecture. A shame that Lizzie is no more.
That was some tree to survive almost intact all this time.
A shame that Lizzie is no more!
All the best Jan
Wow that is a big piece of driftwood.
