falling asleep to the sound of the waves


but, I am sure, there will be no going to the Lighthouse tomorrow.  Not, of course, that I was personally planning on going in a small boat in choppy seas to visit it, but Yes, that, out to the right of the top picture, is supposedly the lighthouse that Woolf had in mind in To the Lighthouse - the lighthouse that (for all the novel's set in the Hebrides, vaguely) Woolf would have seen from Talland House, here in St Ives.  The bottom view is the one from my bedroom window: tomorrow, I think, it'll be obscured by driving rain and gales, so I'm glad to have seen it like this ...
