“The #grasses are really those pioneer species, and they are the #dune builders,” she says.

“By sticking up in the air, they really are able to catch and drop that sand, and that’s the physical action that builds the dune.”

One of the routes through the sand dunes at South Shields' Littlehaven Beach.
In the distance, the Tynemouth Pier and lighthouse where the waters of Tyne meet the North Sea.
Always reminds me of one of the scenes in the film adaptation of the BBC TV comedy series 'The Likely Lads'.
Aware that some reading this might be a bit too young to have been around when the series was aired on TV and never seen the film, the storyline generally follows the lives and friendship of two young working class men, Terry Collier (James Bolam) and Bob Ferris (Rodney Bewes).
In the movie adaptation, there is a scene filmed on the pier where Bob and Terry are chatting about the future direction of their lives.
Bob turns to Terry and memorably remarks: "In the chocolate box of life, the top layer's already gone."
He briefly pauses, then adds: "And someone's pinched the orange creme from the bottom!"
