    I have the poem in a book, The Sands of Dee. It took ages to find it in print. Another excellent presentation, sir, keep them coming. Cheers.

    Once again Sir, you have done a grand job with this video. Yes, the Dee is both beautiful and dangerous. Even in recent years locals have had to warn tourist that the beautiful tempting sands are not the playful beach they think it is. As for Mary, at high tide and in the right light, her flaxen hair can still be spotted drifting on the tide. I look forward to more videos of your Grand Tour.

    Thank you for the awesome video. That was a really interesting story. So sad about Mary. I'm aware of the dangerous mud flats for I am surrounded by 48 square miles of tidal plains
