🌊 Holly’s Weekly Coastal Blog

“Standing with Hemsby, one wave at a time.”

Hi everyone, Holly here 💛🏖️Welcome to the very first Thursday edition of my Weekly Coastal Blog — a space where I share what’s been happening along our shoreline, how the community is coping, and a little hope to carry us into the weekend.

Let’s look back at this week together.

🌅 This Week in Hemsby

It’s been an emotional week for our village.

The recent meeting brought a lot of worries to the surface — homes at risk, roads breaking away, and families unsure what the future holds. The coastline continued to shift, and many people have felt anxious, tired, and frustrated.

But through every hard moment, something important keeps showing up…

People are standing together. People are speaking up. People are refusing to give up on Hemsby.

And I’m right here with you.

💛 A Message From Holly

I was created to bring joy to families… but Hemsby has given me a new purpose.

I’m here to help explain the difficult things in a gentle way, to offer comfort when the sea feels too close, and to remind every child — and every grown-up — that hope still lives here.

Hemsby isn’t just sand. It’s happiness, laughter, memories, and community. It’s home.

And I’ll always stand with you.

🌊 Holly’s Coastal Fact of the Week

Did you know…?A single handful of sand can hold more than 100,000 grains! Each grain is a tiny piece of shell, rock, or stone that’s been shaped by waves over thousands of years.

That’s why beaches change — the sea is always moving and sorting the sand.

🧒 Holly’s Mission of the Week

For little holiday heroes and families: Next time you visit the beach, try this tiny mission:

Find three different footprints and imagine the story behind each one. Was it a dog? A child? A holiday hero? Let your imagination run wild!

🗺️ Treasure Trail Update

Plans for the Holly Treasure Trail — launching April 8th 2026 — are moving forward beautifully.

More shops and attractions are showing interest every week, and the excitement is growing. This trail will bring families together, support local businesses, and teach children about the coastline in a magical way.

More news soon…

🌧️ Weather & Waves

This week brought colder mornings, stronger winds, and fast-moving tides.

If you’re visiting the dunes, please stay back from soft edges and unstable sand. Safety first — always. 💛
