Godrevy


Looking west, the sandy beach, strewn with granite rocks, stretches out towards Gwithian in the distance. If instead you turn around and face east, you would see Godrevy's famous lighthouse very close, standing on its own little island just off the coast. But today somehow the bright sun makes the lighthouse and the rocky shore seem a little ordinary. The sun bathes everything in a summer glow, the air is warm and I can hear a lark singing overhead, so for a brief while it's as if the season has turned; but the strong winds soon bring the clouds and the chill, so that by the time I leave, winter is back...
