Ethel's poem set me thinking, "What Memories would I have if I were to leave the village?" : -

One of my biggest Memory of Saltfleetby would have to be the SKY!

It's Huge, Beautiful and Always changing!

Have you ever noticed how the 'tramlines' from a plane look as if they are coming down to earth, not going across the sky?

On a frosty winters night when the sky is full of stars, look up and just watch for those shooting stars: - I remember our first Christmas here, walking home with my son and his family from a firework display at the Prussian Queen, it was a frosty starlight night and we all just stood and watch in amazement at the amount of shooting stars in the sky. In my ** years I have seen the odd one or two shooting stars, but never as many all at one time, as over Saltfleetby that night.

Another memory would be the Swans on the Mar Dyke and the Barn Owl's working the field at the back of our bungalow with me desperately trying to get a good photo of them! I will get it one day! And when I do I will share it with you..

And last but by no means least the People of this Marsh Village, for their Kindness, Caring and  Friendship.
