Mining the Diaries 4: Norfolk 1978

May Cottage, Titchwell 15th September 1978

Titchwell, Norfolk, 1978

On Titchwell Marsh under a cloud-plumed sky buffeted by a strong westerly wind.  A multitude of greens graced with the pink and mauve of thrift and sea lavender.  At the margins, mats of tide-driven flotsam are frosted with the sun-bleached exoskeletal homes of dead crabs.  Beyond, down on the beach, the land is on the move: knee-deep rivers of wind-driven sand flow to extinction in the sea.  Gulls, waders and eider ducks battle with the surf.
