Return trip

Here it is then, the other half of the exchange. The return trip. The foreigner about town.

I swapped ten pebbles from Shingle Street for a single stone from Tanybwlch.

The ten I took to the west are undoubtedly lighter than this one brought back to the east. If this island of ours is floating, I've upset the balance. The eastern coast will be just that little lower down today.

Could this be the reason for Suffolk's accelerating coastal erosion? Should I spend the rest of the year driving boot-loads of shingle over to the Cambrian Coast?

(Or could it be that my brain still isn't fully into gear after a long holiday?)
