DIARY 2008



31st January 2008

It's wild here at the moment.
22nd February 2008

After what seemed like endless days of rain and high winds I was itching to get out and finally managed it, albeit between showers, and this is one of the more interesting things I found that day.

It consists of dried grasses at the top, which are fastened in little bunches with pink ribbon every inch or so. The pink ribbon is also used on the handle to hold in place what seems like large leaves to cover the stalks of the grasses used for the top. It is very delicate and intricate and must have taken quite a while to construct. I was wondering if it was used for some sort of ceremony, maybe a wedding celebration or even a funeral.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!!		22 February

Another first for me this year was to find a coconut. This one, as you can see, is still in its husk and was washed up on a very high tide after some strong winds.

I'm intrigued as to where it came from and indeed how long it had been in the water for. It weighs in at about 2.3kg and is still drying out at the moment. It's positioned next to a 12 inch ruler to give you an idea of its true size.

The dilemma now is whether to open it or not! 		12 March
