It is thought that the action of the waves moves and erodes the pebbles at different rates as they are washed along the beach. Local fishermen are said to be able to tell exactly where they have landed their boats just from the size of the pebbles.” “Any half-decent geography student will tell you that, in any case, the Chesil isn’t, strictly speaking, a beach but a tombolo. “

..Chesil Beach is a barrier beach as opposed to a tombolo(and much,much more)..the pebbles,gravel(chesil) are from another location..

On his film review with Mark Kermode , Simon Mayo (a known fan) ,was introducing a review of the new film . ‘I always want to add the words ‘far away in time’. My wife’s synopsis of said book. ‘There’s a couple get married. Go on honeymoon. He can’t get it up. That’s it really.’ She doesn’t have her own review show. Yet.

I think this comes from the fact that the sleeve art of Martha and the Muffins Echo Beach is actually of Chesil Beach, and the song Echo Beach is sang by Martha to be “Far Away in Time”.
