In an area called Green Hill, walking along towards Lodmoor, there is a similar row of houses and a wide, trafficless path between them and the sea. There even used to be a pier but it was blown up in the second world war to make it harder for enemies to land. And there are public gardens where you can sit. A big difference though is that these houses look properly lived in. Most of the parallel ones here are for holiday lets and have developed a rather sterile atmosphere in consequence.

You spoke of a place by the sea in the post I did on writer's huts. I have never done anything personal before, so I thought it was about time to do my families place in Depot hill, Capitola first. Then I hope to travel in the next week or two to find some other seaside gardens I hope you find inspiring! I also have my garden in San francisco,which is very informal but I love it! I will post that shortly. Thanks for commenting!!!! :) Regards, Philip Nancy,actually you inspired this! You spoke of a place by the sea in the post I did on writer’s huts.
