  1. We’re not supposed to drink alcohol on the local beaches. People probably do anyhow, but maybe they’re more careful about not leaving their bottles behind as evidence. They sure don’t mind leaving everything else behind though.

  2. Drinking alcohol is banned in some public areas of UK cities but elsewhere there are no restrictions. I think that Gower beaches are so beautiful that people cannot get enough of them. Their relative isolation and vast empty spaces make them ideal partying locations at the end of the day. No danger of disturbing the neighbours. It is a great pity when rubbish is left behind but I guess there would be problems recovering everything in the dark afterwards and carrying it home. Many of the shoes and clothes that I find on the strandlines have probably been lost this way too.

  3. I can hardly believe this but Nick and I saw lots of bottles on the beach we walked today for firewood. And I took a picture of one in the snow on the beach, which I have now added to the gallery for that post. Weird.

  5. Bottles are everywhere but seem to look more decorative when you see them on the beach. The snow would make the image even more effective. I look forward to seeing your photograph on janthinaourneys.

  6. Yes, I think so. Interesting too because they tell stories that we are not able to read. If any survive into the future, they will provide social records. Some bottles are still half full; I can visualise archaeologists analysing the contents in the way they look at the food deposits in Bronze Age cooking pots.
