Cedric Robinson has held the historic office of `Queen's Guide to
the Kent Sands of Morecambe Bay' for more than 55 years. His role
has given him a unique insight into changes affecting the bay and
its coastal communities. Now, as he takes on a new ambassadorial
role, he passes on his experience and observations - and reveals
the startling effects of climate change. Lindsay Sutton is a triple
awardwinning journalist, author, and a former TV broadcaster and
producer. He has plied his media trade for nearly 50 years, and has
known `Ced' Robinson for much of that time. This book - "a labour
of love for an old friend" - is more than a `thank you,'as Cedric
moves from being the record-breaking Queen's Guide to the Sands to
the position of `Ambassador of the Sands,' and adviser to his
successor. `Sands of Time' examines the health and well-being of
Morecambe Bay over the past 55 years of Cedric's tenure. The book
looks at the bay and its surrounding communities through the prism
of Cedric's keen observations and thoughts. With characteristic
openness, he tells it how he sees it. His views are fearless, but
also illustrate his fondness, sprinkled with his often-wicked sense
of humour. Cedric Robinson has held the historic office of`Queen's
Guide to the Kent Sands of Morecambe Bay' for more than 55 years.
His role has given him a unique insight into changes affecting the
bay and its coastal communities. Now, as he takes on a new
ambassadorial role, he passes on his experience and observations -
and reveals the startling effects of climate change. Following in
the footsteps of Cedric Robinson on Morecambe Bay `Sands of Time'
deals with today's burning issues:- * How climate change is
affecting the bay dramatically. * How the channels have changed
since the `Swinging Sixties.' * The effect on wildlife, in and out
of the water. * Ecology and pollution threats, affecting the bay
and its coast. * Technology and its impact, including future plans.
Cedric likes the scope and content of the book: he hopes you do
too.
