Dear Ewan,

Starman “manning” the sluice gate thinking it might be a wigwam to wind up the moon? Never heard of this sluice gate. I can’t believe it is just on the south coast near on a beach where I have swam a hundred times. You say this has something to do with the nature reserve that has just closed and its proper drainage. It seems the reserve may be re-developed into, oh, let’s make a guess, condos for tourists?

I am grateful to Starman. His search is making me re-visit places and spaces I thought I knew.
