Tme and tide Bell. Mablethorpe

Time and Tide Bell is an art project made up of bells designed by sculptor Marcus Vergette. The bells are installed at coastal locations the UK. The first one was installed at Appledore Devon, the next bells  were on the Isle of Lewis, Trinity Buoy Wharf London, Aberdyfi Wales, Cemaes Wales,  Morecambe and the latest  was installed 2 days ago at Mablethorpe.
Each bell rings at high tide and rising sea levels caused by global warming will change the sounds made by the bells..
We are lucky to have one on our Lincolnshire coast thanks to local people who have worked hard and raise funds to make it happen. I went to see it today and could hear the sound of the bell as the clapper hit the bell as the tide came in.

And despite the weather the dunes were alive with birds and bees and the most fabulous carpet of birds foot trefoil and orchids . A wonderful sight in a secret location!
