[Vwoolf] Woolfian citing

[Sarah M. Hall]

 Thanks, Stuart. Another on the list to visit (though not at the moment, as it's having a refit).

I wasn't convinced that it was really filmed at Godrevy Lighthouse. It seemed a bit cramped, but perhaps the walls are very thick.

It seemed a bit cramped, but perhaps the walls are very thick. Mrs Tishell's beau said there were X number of steps: I'm afraid that I don't remember how many, but it was in the hundreds and seemed an unfeasibly high number for a construction that is reportedly 26m/85 feet high. It didn't take them long to get there. Don't know how far the fictional Portwenn is supposed to be from St Ives, but the real village of Port Isaac, where it is filmed, is 54 miles, or a drive of about an hour and a half. 
 Still, it was nice to see Godrevy featured. I think Mrs Tishell should have read the book, but perhaps that's tricky with a permanent neck brace. Sarah

On a rather different note, in case any of you are Doc Martin fans, I 
just saw the episode where the recently widowed Mrs Tishell motors to 
the Godrevy Lighthouse on a quasi-date with a man from her reading 
group--a Woolf pilgrimage for them, though the sceptical Mrs T has not 
gotten past the first page. Fun to be on the boat, on the lighthouse, 
inside too if that part is actually filmed there.

Happy autumn,

Christine
