One of the small towns on the Suffolk Coast is Walberswick, within hailing distance of posh
Southwold and, like much of rural Suffolk, reluctantly finding itself in the 21st century when its
'feel' is more like that of the 19th. Walberswick is a bit like a ghost town for much of the year,
but bursts into life with the first sunny weekend when the un-made-up car park may have
upwards of twenty cars in it. A mile of sand and shingle beach, two decent pubs, a ruined
church and some desirable properties, mostly owned by out-of-towners, and that's
Walberswick. Down the coast are the windswept acres of Shingle Street, and Minsmere Nature
Reserve is nearby. Nearer still are a handful of old fisherman's huts and the sort of creative
detritus that usually surrounds them - nets, old tyres, old boats, old fishermen, engine parts,
the smell of the sea, the lure of chips. It's a favourite spot in any weather, but on this occasion
I knew when I took the picture that the huts were perfectly positioned - especially number 4
here - to take advantage of the direction of light from the break in the clouds.
