Coast Magazine has an article about the artists John Fox and Sue Gill who live in the most unusual house on the edge of the Bay...
...you know when I write ..bay..
...I always mean, Morecambe Bay!
We discovered their home once, on a prowl along the Bay's edge by Ulverston, a few years ago.
It was then a mere tangle of bits of wood and a scrub land stretching from the wooden shack down to the water's edge.
We noticed at the foot of the ridge on which it's built...
...a thorn tree bedecked with scraps of beach combings and plastic washed up on the shoreline...
..it loked like one of those prayer trees where you put a memory of someone that you were thinking of.
So I put my bit of plastic flotsam up for a friend.
It was not much more than a shack then. Now it seems an idyll of a home looking out on what John calls, "The ballroom in the sky"
Our home by the Bay is merely an old guesthouse built to give the mill workers of the Lancashire factories an annual weeks holiday by the sea.
So anyway...this is a post dedicated to the green clad walls of the Bay...
(Whether Morecambe, Kent's Bank, Silverdale or Ulverston.)
...with the growth of the mosses, ferns and lichens thriving on the sweet air coming down from the mountains of the Lakes...
