I am just writing to you to thank you for your great book. I went to the beach with my daughter yesterday and we put your method into practice. For 3 hours we built and built and in the end we had 5 towers, the largest being almost 3 feet tall and 4 archways and we carved stairs and windows and balconies and swirls and tunnels, and the towers had lovely round balls on some of them and so did some of the walls where I placed small towers on top. It was fantastic, and I can't wait to do it again. Next time we will take the camera, for a first attempt we felt very proud, the sand at this particular beach, Greens Beach, Tasmania, Australia, seemed perfect. We both read the pledge aloud and picked up whatever rubbish was around us that thoughtless people had left behind (we do this always) and now we are official S.o.B.s and hopefully can spread the word around Tassie about your method and your book, or at least your web site. Thanks again, I feel so lucky to have found your book, I have never seen anything like it here before.
