The north sea can be a bit wild, but to be honest its just as cold and windy in the summer sometimes (ahh memories of running for the car in pouring rain & force 9 gales in August!!!!) Seriously though its sometimes nicer in the winter as there are very few people around so its quiet. I don't know anything about Blast beach apart from the name and that there was a problem with erosion, which the local council have been trying to help with. I love beachwalks in the winter simply because of the solitude. Sorry I have no idea how much glass you would find at Seaham, but I have seen Seaham sea glass for sale on ebay a while ago. I always think this is such a shame as its much nicer making things with glass you've found yourself. I hope your trip to the UK is fruitful and that you have a nice time here. In fact if you fancy a trip north of the border you would be most welcome I'm sure. Regards Valerie

As for beach glass, you can find it on most pebble beaches. What a great idea making jewelry out of it. I wish you the best of luck in your search. And dont forget to post photo's from your visit. |
