After the storm

In West Penwith at the very far end of Cornwall the full might of Storm Goretti was felt - trees fell, power and water supplies were cut off. Between the Atlantic Ocean and the English Channel, where the land measures five and a half miles across, my moorland home was battered. It has endured a lot of rough weather in the two hundred years since it was built as the administration house for Ding Dong Mine and it's squat granite mass with low sloping roof survived this extreme weather event. The cabin I built for solo writers and walkers stayed safely hunkered down in the shelter belt of the garden - it is open from now until Spring for anyone wanting to have some alone time in the wilds (but not as wild as Goretti!) and there's a special weekly rate of £335 until the end of March. Wishing you a more settled new year, Rebecca
