Surf's Up #bidford 8

 I wonder what washes up along this shoreline. It’s beautiful to watch, and it stops any debris from going any further, though I suspect someone has to go and fish it all out. It’s probably common to see rubbish. Plastic bottles, grass, the odd floating shoe. Then there’s broken driftwood and discarded packets and some of the remains of wrappers shredded by animals trying to get a taste of the food that was within. There might be a dead discarded fish. Unfortunately, it’s got to be someone’s job to keep the river looking pristine. If there’s anything decent or worthy then they get first dibs. But it’s going to be very unlikely that a message in a bottle washes up complete with treasure map. You’re more likely to find rusted drink cans and bird feathers. For boats, there’s a lock. I suppose this means that kayaks have to get out. It’s going to be very risky otherwise.
