BESIDE A SEASIDE ~ A Sonnet

HEMSBY NORFOLK (E  COAST) DECEMBER 2O13 ~ 7 HOMES LOST  

 

B ESIDE A SEASIDE is where we love to live

E veryone in the UK dreams of living on the Coast

S erenity ~ Just like the retired  couple who lived

I n the lovely BUNGALOW shown in our photograph

D own the eroded Coast it slipped one night ~ They

E scaped without injury but alas without their HOME

 

A verage of  SEVENTY  HOMES disappear each year  !

 

S eas are ruthless and they are no respecter of

E ither Man or his Habitation, The UK has fewer

A reas of land (5 sq miles) per mile of coast ~

S o the UK is very susceptible to Coastal Erosion

I have visited som of these sites and the are really

D readful because people have lost their Dream Homes.

E ach Coast erodes on average two metres per year !  

 

Thanks for visiting ~ Comments welcome ~ Love BRIAN XOX
