If you lived here, you could go for a morning swim...and collect some shells.......

Something that makes me very sad is that at certain times in summer
the tides bring in lots of rubbish and the sea turns browny green colour......

Thank you everyone for your comments...here is page 1 and 2/3...still work in progress......

the first page I stuck down with wood glue and it went very soggy, but gave me a chance to play. Page three is drawn on the paper and doesn't show through too much to the other side.
Since this I've used spray mount at the suggestion of http://makenart.blogspot.com/.
This wonderful blog has lots of tests on the paper. Thanks for all the research Makenart!

Work in progress, my theme is "If you lived here"
I've made a start but on watercolour paper.My next page will be in pencil on the thin paper, and probably stick some things in from time to time.

I'm finding the size hard to adjust to but I least I've begun. I've decided to leave the cover until later.
