BTW, can you see the sea from your home - just curious?

Just. It's not that it's far away (Just key in TR18 4TP to Google
Earth, zoom in & you can see the Stevenson Screen)

Well, I can see a roughly screen-shaped white blob, anyway.

but I'm only 19m
asl and there are some trees in the way.

You can't really get an impression of altitude from GE, though.

Close enough to get plenty of
salt spray in a SE gale.

You get 70 foot waves crashing half a mile inland?
