Washed out at The Wash




Well it has to be said that my visit to The Wash was something of a damp squib.  Not in a disappointing way; it was just that it poured down. And it was so grey, heavy, gunmetal grey.  The rain inevitably had an impact on the views but it was still possible to experience the desolation, the sense of endless horizons, of being in a timeless landscape.  The salt marshes had limited accessibility but I spotted sea lavender and sea purslane, their green grey foliage evidence bathed by tidal waters as they struggle to exist in the hostile, saline environment
