A few new publications to add to my large collection of books about the Severn Estuary were collected.


I had a small selection of my Severn Estuary books on display, as well as The Severn Eetuary Lexicon written with Heather Green, and our Severn Estuary Book of Books, devised and designed by Heather. See more about Heather’s work here. https://www.heathergreen-art.com/tidal-timespace


And … I was given a nail from the amazing Newport Transporter Bridge! Thanks!!

See about the bridge here on the Severn Estuary Art Atlas.

Linda Cracknell – author of Sea Marked: Throwing a Line to a Coastal Past, has two events coming up in South-West England to discuss her book.

Linda Cracknell, a great writer about place, the sea — and tides! has a couple of events coming up in the south-west of England connected with her book Sea Marked. She says..

“As you know the book is inextricably linked with the Bristol Channel and therefore with the tides.”

The first is at Barnstaple on 8th May:
