Transcript Mr Westlake the Farmer – on the cliff path

When I first came here, there was a bungalow here, with a double garage, and some buildings here left over from the war. And I used to drive the combine on the other side of the bungalow, which is hard to believe because it’s a big machine – out over there [points out to sea]. So you can imagine how much has gone just from here. And see where that machine is over on the North Warren, that used to be 40 acres, it’s about 18 now… [sound of geese flying over in background]. It’s not so much land as sand… it’s very light. It all blows. It’s all sand - which isn’t good, not for crops. But we manage to grow barley. As agricultural land it’s very poor it’s classed as grade 3 or something… grade 4… but I’ve always scrapped about getting a bit of barley… I call it scratching sand.
