Me, dad and jude are watching a famous guy on ted talks, speak about this journey he went on, which was very dangerous. It involved going on a giant rolercoaster ride up to the north pole. On the way back it took him to glasgow, the place where he would find his home to tell his story.
He then went onto finding a famous causeway, in Glasgow, where the tide sinks down enough across one of the river estuaries during low tide to get all the way across the sands, to this special place where you find lots of things that have floated down the river and got trapped in the mud and sands there. Near to this natural gathering point he found a magical land which became his home for the rest of his life.

I am walking through a parade in the streets of Glasgow, and I meet some of my brother Joe's old friends, two girls, they come with me, as we are going to a talk by my Brother about how he came to buy this special shop and turn it into an art space.
My brother Joe is now telling a crowd of us about this new shop. The location of this shop was just the other side of the tidal causeway, a place that overlooked the estuary. He is now telling a group of us how he came to buy it.
He told us how he spoke to the landlord if he could buy it off him, and the landlord said yes. There was a lot of work that needed doing to the building, and one of these things was that there was a tree growing up close to the building which needed digging out.
After digging out the tree, he went to gather other drift stuff from boTtom of river, the gathering point. He found some ornaments, 2 big porcelain turtles, and other things as well.

I meet fred, and we go on journey to find the bottom of this river, the magical estuary which deposits all sorts of useful things in it.
We have to walk out along a ridge into the estuary as far as we can go, and then we begin to wade through the mud and sands. We find a high point in the muds and sands, which takes us all the way to the bottom of the magical estuary. There fred finds a stereo player which has a tape of old folk music, which still plays and works. We listen to it while we seek around for more interesting things...
