As it turned out, the guy who has started doing it here fished out a stolen motorbike, which 1) goes to show how powerful the magnets are and 2) shows how the local criminal element just dump what they steal after first ruining it - cycle theft is rampant here and most of these seem to get chucked when it turns out they aren't a desirable brand.
Of course, it would be nice if Mr Magnet Fisherman would clear up after himself, even if his haul of rusting metalwork makes a great photo-opp in front of the castle.
I was out wandering around for a couple of hours today, on a bright but very breezy day, looking at the flowers, taking in the sights and drinking tea. This was after 45 minutes on my exercise bike so I reckon I'd earned my own version of mac and cheese when I got in.
Don't ask me too much about that mac and cheese though.

Nice and breezy, I love the old castle, fantastic Si.
ReplyDeleteThe river finds are similar to some of the beach cleans. Some are well organised with van awaiting and shifting everything but then there are the others who drag stuff up from the beach and leave it by the bin!
ReplyDeletewonderful views.
ReplyDeletehave a great weekend
So many aconites all together makes for a sunny picture.
ReplyDeleteHope they get the scrap metal cleared up before someone chucks it back in again
lovely photos of the winter aconites.
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing what gets dumped into rivers and ponds, shocking in fact
Great photos Si. I only remember magnetic fishing from childhood games in the 1950s. Once on holiday in Italy I saw police divers fishing yacht batteries and othe junk out of the sea! Probably belonged to millionaires who threw them overboard judging from the location.
ReplyDeleteIt's rather typical of this area, which has a massive problem with fly tipping
