Ness Point

This shallow foreland once populated by Lowestoft people till in 'fifty three a storm surging high tide inundated dwellings lamentably lost to the sea. Former homes replaced by concrete commerce were sheltered behind a defiant wall, where years later gathered Christians diverse to greet the Easter sunrise; after all only to be met with grey skies and snow that covered the Salvation Army band. No sign of the sun, we sang with gusto to warm ourselves in this bitter wasteland. No cliffs here to defy a raging sea, just faith shared clasping a mug of tea.
