Norfolk is proud of its big beaches and bigger skies. Walk out towards the sea along any of the cockle paths that zigzag across the marshes and you feel yourself dwarfed in an immense world. The scale is dizzying. It's beautiful. It's also odd as almost everything else in Norfolk is tiny. We rented a titchy cottage, ate in dinky cafi(C)s, drank in one-room pubs, even travelled on a model train. This might explain why someone took exception to the car we were driving. Returning to the beach car park one evening someone had used a wet finger to write in the dust on its grey flank: "You are too big! 4 x 4 F-off!" It says a lot about the good people of Norfolk that they were too polite to spell out the rude word.
