Guardians of the Coast

We're getting quite into this coast watch business. We've been out and about along the Norfolk coast once again looking out for any boats, swimmers, seals or whales in difficulties and needing a keen eye to spot them.


For our latest lookout we made use of a pillbox, left over from the war. As we were well defended we thought we could also look out for Pirates - not those of the Caribbean of course, but those of the Norfolk coast. They must have heard we were there ready to intercept them as they stayed well away. Well they do say prevention is better than cure!

Talking of pillboxes, a great debate is raging in Bears Unlimited circles. Some of us call them pillboxes and others insist that they are blockhouses. What do our readers think and is there any difference between the two? let us knwo what you think.

Lots of love Tommy & Henry xxx
