Polridmouth

Polridmouth is a magical beach that can be anything you want, because it opens up your imagination. Today I reach it to find a circle of long-skirted women, holding hands and going widdershins in a ritualistic dance. I reassure myself that they are merely rehearsing for some theatre performance, but stay clear anyway grateful that it is noon, not midnight. Still, it feels in keeping with this secret place, which Daphne du Maurier must surely have used as her model for Frenchman's Creek, just as her nearby Menabilly served for Manderlay.
Come here whatever the time or light, and you may find yourself in another world...
