Cornwall in the winter

Here is a rather beautiful deserted winter's beach in North Cornwall. I took this photo in late 2020 near St Ives, where we were taking a family holiday between Covid-19 lockdowns. In my novel The Wilder Path, Roly takes a cliff-top walk on a beautiful New Year's Eve afternoon - I imagined the weather just like this. She certainly doesn't expect to become trapped in a cave with only an injured cormorant for company.
The novel explores Roly's complex reactions to climate change and the threats to nature, and her equally complex relationships with friends and family. She was a challenge to write - not always sympathetic, but always human - and ahead of her time.
