How very unusual for you to be wordless. Your photos speak for themselves, so it’s ok. I’m intrigued by the green-yellow stuff, is it a lichen? Are there any fossils on your beach? I hope J is soon better, I have a similar problem occasionally.
The green yellow stuff is lichen: the rocks at Mystery Bay are covered in it. No animal fossils – rocks are to old. We did find fossilised ripples on rock in the bush. 100 km north in sandstone country there are fossils – a walk for spring. I feel for you and your adductor muscle!
Your beaches just keep on giving! I love the red sandstone and the seaweed that imitates rock. And the last photo looks like North Devon with the finger reefs. Do I take it from the conversation with Jo (I know, eavesdropping is not a good habit, but I couldn’t help myself…) that J has been ill? Stopping him from working sounds drastic.
Damaged adductor muscle. Not good for a man who wants to be on the roof, or over the cliff, or taking the dog for a walk, or going on a long walk himself. He’s been surprisingly ungrumpy, but it’s wearing a bit thin.
Painful. How did he do that? I hope you manage to keep him sedentary until he is properly recovered. Easy to overdo things, especially when he is usually so active.
Old age the cause of at least the longevity of the disability. May have done it in the roof installing solar panels. May have aggravated it in many ways. I’m not a very effective nagger. He gets irritated by texts.
These were just gentle J-very-much-needs-to-get-out walks, with a picnic included in the first one. And much nerviness on my part as he exceeded his capacity – in my view. No ill effects though, and psychologically very beneficial to a man who hates inaction!
For once, I’ve served him as well as he serves me. I put him onto a number of books that have riveted his attention too, and stopped him doing home maintenance. Although the solar panels awaiting installation siren-call him.

Great comment by Jude: your beaches DO keep on giving. But you’re the one who transmits that giving all the way to the rest of us…
