  1. A short trip to the Dutch province of #Zeeland to be with the sea and to cut some #seaweed for kitchen experiments. We took part in a workshop and so were permitted to cut seaweed - not allowed otherwise, for good reason.

    Some things we learned:

    - Always greet the sea.
    - Never pick, always cut, scissors are best. This preserves the holdfasts and allows the seaweed to regrow.
    - Cut only from the top 25% of the seaweed for maximum regrowth.
    - Cut off no more than one third of a piece of seaweed, again for regrowth.
    - All seaweeds in the Netherlands are #edible.
    - Seaweeds are family, treat them with respect.

    We ended up with a nice little treasure chest full of about a dozen species of seaweed. We've fried it, eaten it raw in various permutations, will dry some of it, and keep experimenting.

    The rockpools glistened, isolated by the retreating morning tide. Murky and full of anemones and molluscs, the occasional terrified crab. I waded in to gather my samples of soil. Measuring microplastic and other 'forever' contaminants

    It was slow and tough, the #seaweed tangled and tripped, and I fell to my knees, plunging hands deep into the silt. I sat back and washed them clean. My fingers were missing. Bitten. The water turned dark red. The seaweed moved.

    The perfect crime.
    Deep sea fishing.
    Private charter, late night departure, no crew and a couple of buckets of chum.
    The whining had finally been silenced when I'd surrendered to the rage she always provoked.
    Over the depths I poured the contents of the buckets, then settled in for the night.

    A vile stench awakened me to find her reconstituted shredded features capped by #seaweed facing me in the cabin.
    "I told you I'd never leave you..."
