HUNSTANTON BEACH
I walk an empty stretch of beach my little friend beside me
oblivious
To the memories clouding my mind.
Run! Catch! Chase. Jump! I try with Gizzy
To capture the joy we found here and leave the trembling
sadness behind.
The ancient cliffs look on as stormy petrels seeking the
sunlit ocean
Fly free above the waves.
What grace in flight! What strength of wing!
A gentle healing to my aching heart they bring.
My love has flown, a new horizon beckoned her beyond
the bonds twixt sky and sea.
I come for solace. Hunstanton Beach in all its beauty
Will call me back tomorrow.

2014 is feeling brighter at West Norfolk Mind having
secured some new contracts, a little funding due to the
continued commitment and hard work of the staff and
volunteers. However there are still areas of our service that
could be in jeopardy if we don’t continue to increase our
fundraising income. We hope to dramatically increase our
team running in this years 10K Grand East Anglian Run on
