Tidal Reaches 2

Once it gets into October you can almost hear the North Norfolk coast heaving a well-earned sigh of relief as most of the population retreats back to Chiswick. Here on Brancaster Staithe they just quietly get on with gutting fish, doing something to bags of mussels and putting village notices up in an old Eastern Counties bus timetable frame. And of course abandoning their boats so that they can lean with the weather like the Norfolk trademark pines on the horizon. I did wonder if this vessel ever uprighted itself on the higher reaches of the tide, listening as I did to the first gurglings in the reed-bound mud as the sea once again started to push against the hull of an active fishing boat, (short-wheel based Landrover in attendance). I had to buy a big fresh crab in a brown paper bag for my fish-obsessed ten-year-old from a little wooden hut.

When my son was ten we used to go down to the Dorset coast around Christchurch quiet a lot. The thing to do there was to CATCH crabs – all you needed was a long line with some bacon on the end and it was like shooting fish in a barrel. Mind you, most of them were too small to contain much meat, so it was usually off to the stall to stock up with crabs or whelks afterwards.

'QUIET a lot'? The brain is disintegrating. I need more fish. Now.

The only hurdle to accessing this is of course human limitations and the
fact that the brain does not function solely as a learning tool for the human being.
