'Constantly, gradually the norms of landscape are inverted. There is no clean break between land and sea. Coast is a word that is not really applicable around The Wash. It all comes out in the Wash. There is the constant illusion that the land really is the sea and that it will be returned to sea. Infinity beckons beyond the edge of the World' (Jonathan Meades, check website link)
