Yes he's 72. What about

the sound of the Poppy Line trains at Sheringham? The sound of the sea with the waves lapping up the sand or the shingle round our coastline. Blustery but fresh wind in your face and that noise sums it up for me. Love it. The people I know who are Norfolk born also have that deep affiliation with the sea and feel better (or at home somehow) when on the coast.
