Just Wondering
As I wandered along Climping beach, I found myself wondering how long it might take for those huge, cubic concrete blocks to be worn to sand? And that made me imagine, just for a moment, that I had been somehow reduced to a microscopic size and that the blocks actually were grains of sand.
