Drive along narrow, winding lanes, across the flat Suffolk landscape of the Deben peninsular to eventually arrive at a vast expanse of undulating shingle, stone waves extending as far as you can see towards the horizon. An empty, atmospheric mysterious, place - "full of the healing sea, wind and silence", as described in 'THE SHINGLE STREET SHELL LINE', (a beautiful little book and, by the way, a perfect holiday souvenir, if there are any left in your local book shop. ISBN-13:978-1-874426-22-6) The book tells the story ,in photos and words of two childhood friends who , over time created this extraordinary line of shells from their holiday cottage to the shoreline, Watch the kite surfers - amazing! skimming the surface of the lagoon at great speed- an incredible display of acrobatics , strength, skill and agility- a joy to watch. As the tide comes in they 'jumped the bar' setting off towards the horizon, flying further up into the air, lifted by the winds. Today, we met their coach-who is obviously very good at his job indeed. He even offered to teach us!  Kite surfing at Shingle Street  A garden on Shingle Street  The Shell Line at Shingle Street
