Coast Magazine Seaside fun for free Retour à l'édition précédente

Sometimes things just work out; a little bit of serendipity goes
a long way. I’m happy to say that on last month’s sunniest
day I was on the coast instead of in the office. I had travelled to
Dorset to interview sculptor Rebecca Newnham, and when she
suggested lunch at her beach hut, I couldn’t refuse! We took a
ferry to the sandy spit where her hut sits, and, as we watched
children playing in the shallows and boats pootling by, I knew that at that
moment there was nowhere in the world better than this. Rebecca and her
photographer husband, David, are the kind of people I love to meet: creative,
inspirational and thoughtful. They left London for a life near the sea when
they started a family and you can read their story on page 70. For more
ideas on starting a new life by the sea turn to page 88 to discover how
Sarah and Neythan Hayes renovated a rundown pub in Cornwall.
