I miss the noise of the tide on stormy evenings and blustery mornings. That’s why I like to take the dog down to the harbour when we stay at my mums. Late at night, it is quiet, no one is around, the smell of the sea, the sound of it hitting against the pier wall and pulling the pebbles back out with it is my favourite noise. Why we live here when all I hear at night is motorbikes along the road I don’t know.
