First and foremost, I hope you are well and staying healthy. This is a hugely challenging time, but we will get through it together. Secondly, I want to thank everyone who has interacted with our lovely coast community over the past month. We asked for those who live on the coast to share their photos of their walks by the sea with our inland readers, who were missing the ocean, and we were inundated with your images. We’ve had so much positive feedback about how coast is keeping you connected to what you love while you are stuck at home, so, thank you! We might be in isolation, but we are still a strong community and it has been wonderful to be in touch with so many of you during…

PLANNING A TRIP • North Norfolk’s Deep History Coast Discovery Trail stretches 22 miles from Weybourne to Cart Gap and follows the route of the North Norfolk Coast Path.

From a distance, artist Justine Warner’s coastal and woodland scenes appear to be beautiful paintings or perhaps even photographs. Look closer though and you notice that everything – from sea and sky to trees and beach – contains exquisite stitches, paisley pattern spots and stripes taken from men’s ties and other scraps of fabric. Since 2019, this up-and-coming textile artist has been leading two-day residential courses at Raithwaite Estate, an up-market hotel complex on a secluded 80-acre site between Whitby and Sandsend, North Yorkshire. The course is called ‘Landscape or Seascape in recycled textiles using layering and blending in fabric’ – artworks created by using machine-embroidered appliqué. There’s also sparing use of heat to melt and shrink fibres, some of which are made from recycled plastics. Attempting to capture the…

Been wondering what you could cook for a change, now going out to eat is not an option? Bringing together 500 home cooking recipes, The Irish Cookbook by Jp McMahon celebrates the quality and variety of Irish ingredients, from the oysters and seaweed of its west coast to the beef and lamb from its lush pastures, to the abundant wild food that’s found all over the island. Jp adapted old recipes, drawing on archive material available in the National Library of Ireland. He has pulled together classic dishes, learning about the use of ancient ingredients in the process, and brought the collection up to date with contemporary dishes from modern food writers and chefs, his family and his own repertoire. We hope you are inspired. Crab claws with seaweed and…

Many of the beaches that are good for shrimping are tidally sensitive, and while you are getting carried away having fun it is easy to get cut off by the tide, and a call to the RNLI often follows. To save this happening, here’s a simple step-by-step guide: 1. Observe the lowest part of the beach on your way back to dry land and note what time it gets flooded by the rising tide, making sure you do this from the side from which you are not cut off. 2. Check the Imray Tides Planner and scroll along the tide graph until you find the tide height for that time; this is your cut-off tide. On future days of shrimping, check the time when the tide reaches this point and…

The turnstiles clank and the crowd surges forward along the pier, tickets in hand. At the gangway a wizened, uniformed seaman checks that the passengers have the correct tickets before they clamber up the gangplank. Once aboard, acrid smoke from the funnel stings their eyes as it’s driven across the deck by a sharp breeze. It will be a choppy crossing. Paddle steamers with their long narrow hulls and a big churning paddle wheel on each side are fast ships and sea spray soon starts to drive across the decks on the breezy day. As current tradition dictates, lady passengers head for the upholstered seats in the saloon, children run screaming around the deck and fathers go below to the bar. Whether they were dressed in billowing crinolines and stove-pipe…

Everybody likes the water, don’t they? I live in Hampshire, so I sail a bit in the Solent (pictured). It’s a fantastic part of the world. It’s got its own little micro-climate, beautiful weather and, of course, it’s a mecca for sailing. I’ve been sailing for about 14 years. I get less and less chance to do it now, though! We didn’t really holiday much when I was a child. We ventured to Scarborough and Whitby as that was the nearest coastline to us – about 30 miles away from the farm in North Yorkshire, where I grew up, so we went there and on occasional holidays to Blackpool. I went to college in Scarborough. It’s beautiful, that east coast. Further up you’ve got Whitby – the fish and chips…

I moved to Devon when I was a little girl with my family – since I can remember, I have always lived by the sea. I grew up in Instow on the north coast, then moved to Croyde. North Devon is such a beautiful place. The coastline is rugged, open and wild, and it feels very free. A place can be special, but it’s also so much about the people, and it’s a tight-knit community here. Before setting up my jewellery business I’d grafted in a creative agency, run a yoga retreat, worked with the artist Damien Hirst and managed a restaurant. Summers were fun but hectic, and I often escaped the harsh winters for far-flung destinations. I’ve travelled all over the world, and this was my inspiration for making…

In 2017, Justine Warner was artist in residence at the Yorkshire Arboretum. The tree pictures that she produced from a year’s unlimited access to the arboretum have a hint of Hockney about them. As well as trees Justine also loves the coast, especially the stretch between Whitby and Sandsend – ‘a favourite for walks with my two dogs, followed by fish and chips on the beach’. At art college, Justine specialised in 3D art followed by a degree in interior design. She then trained to become a teacher. For almost 30 years she’s been teaching Design, Technology and Food. She also holds a fortnightly textiles class for adults. ‘I love teaching adults – they have such an enthusiasm to be there,’ she says. In addition to decades of teaching, Justine’s trajectory…

DOG of the MONTH Send your coastal canine photographs to coast.copy@kelsey.co.uk YOU’VE GOT A FRIEND Owning a dog is a great way to boost mental, physical and emotional health at the best of times, even more so in these uncertain times. If you’re finding yourself suddenly spending more time at home, having a dog has advantages, as the Mental Health Foundation points out: • Dogs have to be exercised, which prompts their owners to walk too, and the benefits of exercise on both mental and physical wellbeing are well known. If you suffer from depression or anxiety, exercise is hugely beneficial. • Studies show just stroking your dog will help you to feel relaxed and calm, as it lowers your blood pressure and eases stress. • A dog is great…
