Why dog plus bog minus wellies does not equal a happy new year
![That Sinking Feeling](https://magarticles.magzter.com/articles/9319/257581/5a54a44187615/That-sinking-feeling.jpg)
I’VE LIVED on the Yorkshire coast my whole life. There’s something about being at the edge of the land that settles a body. Something about the realisation that you physically can’t go any further. If you’re facing the sea, then you’ve reached the edge, there’s nowhere else to go. I love that feeling.
Whenever I’m over-worked and over-stressed, I get myself nearer to the sea. It makes me feel small, in a good way, like all the stress is insignificant against the enormity of that much water, that enormous sky.
With this in mind, I thought I’d start my first column for Yorkshire Life with a New Year’s resolution cliff-walking horror story. Brace yourselves.
