The Suffolk woman whose house clings to the edge of an eroding cliff

Juliet Blaxland who has been living in Easton Bavents, a village in East Suffolk, for 12 years now describes her house which has stood for 200 years and is now clinging to the edge of the sandy cliffs as "living on a wind lashed trawler".

She has watched the eroding cliffs creep ever closer to her home taking neighbours houses in its wake.

Juliet accepts the eroding coastline as not a "distraction" but "the enormous power of nature to regenerate itself".

The village, which once was the most eastern point in the country in the 1600s, is now a mile and a half out to sea. Juliet's house days are numbered. It will soon fall victim to its beautiful, wild location.

Inspired by this special location, the power of nature and the precious little time the house has left, Juliet decided to write a book about living life on the edge.

In hope of inspiring others, her book describes how she is accepting the inevitability of losing her home and even drawing strength from the relentless erosion.
