Discourser on the Jurassic Coast. Sunday, 6 April 2014. SEIZURE OF CONTRABAND SPIRITS, BRANSCOMBE 1857. Woodhead Farm in a Branscombe Mist. Woolmer's Exeter and Plymouth Gazette, Saturday, February 28th 1857. Subsequent reports give 'Woodhead Farm' not 'Woodash' which, GR 204901, would appear to be the farm where the goods were seized.

Discourser on the Jurassic Coast. Sunday, 14 April 2013. There are summer nights when the Estuary waters glitter. The boat leaves a wake of sparkling light. Water burns where the oars dip. And fingers trailed are fireworks. One knows one is witnessing a chemical reaction. Bioluminescence would seem to be the word. Something to do with living organisms,. Something to do with the Science we were never that good at! I have put all that in parenthesis. What is outside the brackets is a dazzling miracle.

Wayland Wordsmith: SEA MIRROR
http://waylandwordsmith.blogspot.com/2014/02/sea-mirror.html
Discourser on the Jurassic Coast. Saturday, 22 February 2014. It's February and a dismal day. Coal black cloud has robbed us of the sun. I wander mopish on my clifftop way. And don't perhaps look forward to much fun. When suddenly, a glory not expected,. A gleam, a glare, a brightness from the sea,. The sun's face hidden still but so reflected. My winter shadow has crept home to me! Now too is warmth. On Weston heights I rest. At th' bench on th' beetling cliff, bask in the bright.

http://waylandwordsmith.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Discourser on the Jurassic Coast. Thursday, 29 August 2013. ANDREW BRICE AND TOPSHAM PILOTS. Andrew Brice was an eighteenth century newspaperman at Exeter. There is a very good article about him among the Exeter Memories. This snippet, I suppose from his major work, the Grand Gazeteer or Topographical Dictionary (1759). And quoted by Powhele,. No doubt this is obvious but only when I read this did I consider that when we read of eighteenth and nineteenth century 'Topsham pilots'. Could also be a cormorant.

Discourser on the Jurassic Coast. Sunday, 12 January 2014. A Study of a rare old Conservative). Behold an old relic of old-fashioned days. Recalling the coaches, the hoy and post chaise! It has not advanced in a timber or wheel. Since first it was fashioned by Benjamin Beale. It is not aesthetic, nor yet picturesque,. Tis heavy and cumbrous, expensive, grotesque-. And I feel very certain there never was seen. Such an old-fashioned thing as a Bathing Machine. The windows won't open, the doors never fit.

Discourser on the Jurassic Coast. Tuesday, 31 December 2013. New Year's Eve 2013). So bright the day. It's hard to say. Where sky meets sparkling wave. How full of hope a world can seem,. How peaceful and how brave! Storms there have been;. And storms to be. Are surely on their way. But here and now? How brave and bright the day! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Discourser on the Jurassic Coast. Wednesday, 30 January 2013. Now, what I like about my broad Estuary is this:. She doesn't encourage me to be petty. She has never offered me two for one. Not even three for two,. Not five per cent cashback on all my purchases. Nor a thousand points. She has not yet competed with my home insurer. Nor offered me a good deal on my balance transfer. She would never invite me to fill in questionnaires. She does not expect me to eat five a day. Nor to drink units of alcohol.
