<div dir="ltr">Thanks for these!<br><br>I've woken up in that bedroom, too, and felt inordinately lucky to look out through the blinds and see *the* lighthouse. For a while, my husband and I used to spend Christmas in one or the other of the Talland House flats every year; we were temporarily (we thought) living in England, had no family in the country, and no time to fly home, or even to have a real holiday some years -- we took our laptops and worked in those congenial surroundings. (There was an exceptional day when I spilled an entire mug of cocoa over my husband's keyboard, it stopped working, and we had a lovely drive to Penzance, the nearest place where we could buy a plug-in keyboard back then.) <br><br>On one memorable occasion, a guest from a neighboring flat knocked on the door with a plate of mince pies -- it turned out to be another Woolfian, a VWSGB member (though I haven't asked her permission to mention her, so I won't use her name), who later admitted to just being curious as to who else was in residence. So started a wonderful acquaintance! Unfortunately, we couldn't ask her at the time in because my husband, just out of the shower, was stranded in the sitting room, his clothes in the bedroom, and no way to get between the two without being seen; I kept our mince-pie benefactor chatting on the doorstep for some time. In a later year, when she and her husband rented the big downstairs flat, we were invited down to dinner there. They'd moved the furniture to put the dining table where Mrs Ramsay's table would've been -- and they even served boeuf en daube.<br><br>It seems beyond all understanding that the view of the lighthouse couldn't have been preserved and development reduced in the interest of history; surely, the Woolf-Talland House connection is worth quite a bit to the tourist industry, isn't it? If they promoted boat trips to the lighthouse, performances, etc., surely they could make up the financial difference -- or maybe I'm kidding myself.<div><br></div><div>Thanks for the walk down memory lane --</div><div><br></div><div>Mary Ellen<br><br><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sun, Apr 18, 2021 at 3:31 AM Elisa Sparks via Vwoolf <<a href="mailto:vwoolf@lists.osu.edu">vwoolf@lists.osu.edu</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

Dear all--</div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)">
Having been fortunate enough to visit St. Ives and Talland House twice, in 2003 and in 2012, I have finally gotten around to sharing the pictures I and later I and my students took of the house, gardens, and of a trip we took to the lighthouse. I have put
them all in a blog entry, along with the Ordinance Survey map of Talland House in 1877. Since so much of the Talland House garden has been disappearing due to development over the years, I thought people might appreciate a historical record. Feel free to
use these in classes; any publication should cite me and the website.</div>
