I’m sure I could never afford it, but isn’t this such an attractive house? It is so charming and has such interesting external features, the walls set with flint in the traditional Norfolk style, The upper window projecting out on the seaward side of the house for stunning views, no doubt, and the curved bow-window at the top facing the road. There is the sea in the background, looking very blue on this bright spring day, but it is the North Sea cold and often dangerous. I can imagine living in this house, in a nice little seaside town. I could sit by the window and write, or just gaze over the sea for inspiration! I could wander into town for coffee, or to a friendly pub in the evening. My husband would love to live by the sea, and as an artist he would find it a very creative place to be!
This coast line looks across the Dogger Bank, once, many of thousands of years ago, this was a fertile vale, Doggerland, where people, lived, roamed, hunted until the sea encroached and swallowed it, cutting Britain off from Europe.
I’m fascinated by Doggerland, the lost lands which may perhaps have given rise to the Atlantis myths… maybe! If you are interested in Doggerland too, then there are plenty of places to find out more about it, but here is one link:
