One push and this ruined building will topple into the waves. Perhaps.
Out on Orford Ness last week, getting insights into the work of the rangers. I didn't have a camera with me, so just this phone shot.

Quite a lot of years go now I wrote a little book that did stupidly well... For the entire summer of 2011 it sat right at the top of the charts in the UK, and ended up being the 26th bestselling title of the year according to The Bookseller. It's 99p now, just coz.
