(10,575 posts)3. 20 years of work gone
A man has resumed shoring up a cliff after seeing 20 years of previous work washed away in a tidal surge.
Michael Kennedy, 76, had built a 10ft (3m) wall by moving rocks and stones from the beach to the cliff at Hunstanton, Norfolk.
The December tidal surge destroyed his wall, which he had worked on for two hours a day, six days a week.
He is rebuilding it and said he would continue until he was 100, although he "might cut down" his hours.
