beachcombing

The lifestyle and habits of a beachcomber.

An item found lying near the sea; marine salvage.

The beachcombings – the wood, the metal, the stones – were more than functional, collected and sorted and arranged as things that were lovely in their own right, artefacts.

I wandered along, sifting through the Thames' beachcombings. In a patch of sand lay a section of soft pink roof tile some two inches square or so, and witha peg hole.
