Seasalter is an in between space between Whitstable and Faversham. It is a place of meadows, marsh, and coast where there is negotiation between the sea, the land and man. The sea wall is marked by lichen, built to protect the land from the sea. On one side of the wall the fenced off meadows are now a site for thousands of solar panels which were strongly contested. On the other side of the wall the tides fall back to reveal estuary mud, remnants of cement blocks and derelict wooden groynes. On the grassy side of the path Mick’s post marks the boundary for digging for bait.You can see the Isle of Sheppey in the distance. My dog loves jumping over the sea wall and sometimes so do I.
