A Room with a View

Bev, Alisha and I have spent the last three nights staying in a delightful National Trust holiday cottage. The holiday cottage in question, Coastguard Cottage, lies on the Suffolk coast and adjacent to one of the top bird reserves in the UK, Minsmere. It's a wonderful place for nature lovers and walkers. However, the downside is that the cottage is also a stone's throw from a massive nuclear power station, Sizewell B. The picture on the right was taken from our bedroom window.

For Alisha, it was her first sight of the sea. Not many 18 month old Nepali girls have such an opportunity. She didn't know which way to turn on the beach; every pebble was a jewel. Even if they do glow in the dark.
