Over many years,the waves on the sea change the shape of countries as they build new land in some places and wear it away in others. waves ERODE parts of the coast and wash up the rock fragment on to the shore, forming new beaches. But even beaches are constantly changing because of the action of waves, winds and TIDES.

I worked the Southwold beach last year and the BOGGIS bloke may of meant well but do you think all the trucks carrying dirt to the provsion of aiding the sea defence ws dirt only?The answer well is clearly all the rubbish which is washed up on the beach.Boggis get a grip on reality!

Sadly the 'Boggis' works have badly spoiled Easton beach which is now disgracefully littered with rusty metal and plastic rubbish which was dumped there without planning consent. This should now be cleaned up at the expense of those who profited from the illicit dumping, for it is now a hazzard to bathers and beach users and will be carried towards Southwold by wave action.

I lived at Easton Bavents as a child, in three different houses - all of which have now disappeared over the cliffs. My grandparents retired there in the late 1940's but within a couple of years they had to move out of their bungalow and build another one about 100 yards inland. The next bungalow in line was the Chalmers Cottage, and there my mother, brother and I lived until the winter storm of 1953 when we were woken in the middle of the night and moved out for safety. The next morning looking north to Southwold the landscape had changed - the pier had been cut in half by the storm. We moved in with my grandparents in their new bungalow, which then was 100 yards from the cliff edge - but I visited last year (2006) and it too has now disappeared over the cliff. The Suffolk landscape then - and hopefully still now -was a delight. Under the vast skies, wildlife was all around us. There were sand lizards in the fields, (my Nan called them baby crocodiles) cinnamon moths, tiger moths, a myriad of butterflies, the woods to the north were full of daffodils, and primroses. The salt lagoons were the haunt of flocks of sea birds, porpoises swam past in the sea a few feet from the edge. My grandfather told me he had heard the bells of an acient church still ringing far out to sea (but there is a similar story about nearby Dunwich so it may be a fable) and now, sadly, it is my grandparents cottage which is forever under the waves. Surrounding us was the Boggis farm of Easton Bavents, which had its own electricity supply (5 amp only, no power sockets), and which he sold on to my grandparents. In the Chalmers Cottage however, we had no electricity. Our lighting and cooking was on paraffin lamps and oil stoves. Chris Hollins

hiya I remember working with a lad from Southwold at Heathrow in 1974 and he told me about finding amber, I want to visit in November, is there any particular area that one is likely to discover a little bit of history? Rgds Dex

I once had a flat in Southwold and every time I return from U S A we always visit to eat fish & chips and walk the town & pier. Miss you Southwold.
