#harbour head

[gogandmagog]

Someone perfectly lovely, called Paul Hendricks, put together this thoughtful map of the Four Winds community. His website, where this map was obtained, is HERE. What follows below the cut are Paul’s own words, detailing how he went about putting this together this map, complete with thorough book citations and explanations of inconsistencies!

“This is the rough map I've put together, based in the clues mentioned below, which are taken from various of the Anne books. (See note on the format of the references.)

The map uses a 'browser-safe' palette, so you should see roughly the same colours that I do. The orange/brown lines are roads. The dark-green areas are woods. The light blue is, of course, the sea.

Reconstructing the setting for the four books based on Four Winds and Ingleside has proved much more difficult than for Avonlea. Beginning with the premise that Four Winds is about 60 miles from Avonlea (AHoD, ch 1, 10th page), I tried a layout based on the area around Sturgeon, Gaspereaux and Georgetown, in the south-east part of the Island. Eventually it proved impossible to put together a consistent map on this basis. What is more, I realised that there was no evidence in LMM's diaries that she had ever been to that part of the Island.

I then tried a construction based on the area around New London, as there were many similarities of detail, and the area was well known to LMM. This fits in reasonably well with the descriptions of Four Winds in AHoD. There are some difficulties and inconsistencies noted below, but alternatives (such as putting the House of Dreams and the Lighthouse on the East side of the bay) have turned out to be unworkable. I have also managed to reconstruct the area around Ingleside, on the assumption that it is in the position occupied by Clifton/New London. Given the basic framework of roads that results, the result is more convincing than I had hoped, and seems to fit in quite well with the text of AoI, RV and RoI.

House of Dreams 'looks to the sunset and has harbour before it'. Dining room looks out on the harbour (AHoD, ch 2, 4th page). Living room windows and front door look towards the lighthouse (AHoD, ch 2, 5th page). There is a brook going through the corner of the garden.

The entrance of the harbour is between a bar of sand dunes and a sandstone cliff. The fishing village is where the sand bar meets the harbour shore (AHoD, ch 5, 1st page).

It is dusk, but there is no mention of seeing the setting sun. This suggests that going from Glen St Mary towards the house they are facing north or east. This is consistent if Glen St Mary is south, and the house is on the west side of the harbour (AHoD, ch 5, 1st page).

There is a chapel on the far side of the bay. The lighthouse is to the north, as they approach the house from the Glen. The house is 2 miles from the Glen, and 1 mile from the lighthouse. Miss Cornelia's house is between the House of Dreams and the Glen (AHoD, ch 5, 2nd page).

Poplars line the lane from road to house; fir trees between house and sea (confirms that the sea is to the 'back' of the house (AHoD, ch 5, 4th page).

Leslie's house is further up the brook, 'among the willows' (AHoD, ch 6, 4th page). The lane of Leslie's house opens onto the 'upper road' (AHoD, ch 9, 2nd page). Miss Cornelia's house is half a mile from the house of dreams (AHoD, ch 6, 5th page).

'From the deceit of the McAllisters...' (AHoD, ch 6, 5th page) is a paraphrase of an actual saying referring to LMM's relations, the Simpsons, the McNeils and the Clarkes, see also page xv of introduction to volume one of selected journals. Confirms the view that the families referred to in the 'over-harbour' area are modelled on LMM's own family in Clifton, Cavendish, etc.

As Anne and Gilbert are walking towards the lighthouse, the house 'up the brook' is to their right (AHoD, ch 9, 2nd page). There is some difficulty in fitting this in with my map. We might perhaps conceive an arrangement where the house by the brook was to the right hand side of the road to the lighthouse, though the road would have to be not so close to the shore as the modern road.

The distinction (AHoD, ch 10, 1st page) between the 'harbour shore', the 'sand shore' and the 'rock shore' is consistent with New London Bay - corresponding respectively to the shore inside the bay, the shore on the north side of the bar, and the shore to the north of the lighthouse.

'North shore' presumably means 'North shore of PEI' (AHoD, ch 14, 1st page). It was this which first alerted me to the possible inconsistency with my original presumption about the location of Four Winds.

'North-western sky' (AHoD, ch 18, 1st page), implies that the lighthouse is north-west of the house of dreams.

The Fishing Cove (AHoD, ch 27, 1st page) must be on the shore by the sand bar (therefore the same place as the fishing village). Anne and Gilbert go there via the lighthouse because intending to row over to avoid the long drive round by road which would otherwise be necessary.”

THERE'S NOTHING LIKE YOU & I a Good Omens season 2 playlist

Quiet, gentle, romantic, and a little bit devastating – roughly in story order. For being lonely together across 6,000 years and aching for the freedom to love.

On Spotify Here

(Previous editions: Soft To Be Strong – Good Omens season 1 | Crowley/Aziraphale upbeat song dump)

#good omens #good omens season 2 #good omens spoilers #good omens playlist #aziracrow #aziracrow playlist #ineffable husbands #GO2spoilers #char makes playlists #listen in order or I WILL sense that you aren't doing that and show up outside your house <3 <- threat #the songs tell a story and they slide into each other to create a Vibe and Aesthetic because as always I have no chill! #tumblr gets the fun facts and behind the scenes info in the tags soooo #“Safe Harbour” is – in my head – the 4-5 years in/near the bookshop and at the end of it is when Gabriel shows up #“Tell Her You Love Her” is in part about Maggie and Nina but obviously it deliberately doubles as being about Aziraphale and Crowley #are a couple of the songs on here cliches like Hozier and Adele? yes they are. do I give a fuck? NO I DO NOT. they fit! #“Just The Two Of Us” is such a bittersweet cover and it perfectly encapsulates Aziraphale's offer to Crowley. it makes me want to scream #JUST THE TWO OF US. BUILDING CASTLES IN THE SKY. God... #anyway. “Like the Movies” has so many specific mentions of places/actions/things they do that I HAD to include it. that shit kills me #aaand did I make this entire playlist just so I could use “Sun” and “The End of the World”? maybe so. #OKAY THANKS FOR READING IF YOU DID. THANKS FOR LISTENING IF YOU DO!! I PUT MY HEART AND SOUL INTO IT

The Nova Scotia Nature Trust has acquired 182 additional hectares of coastal land in Little Harbour, just over an hour from Halifax.  The land is next to the 265-hectare Owls Head Provincial Park, where potential private development into a golf course caused significant public outcry and demand for its protection. The Nova Scotia Nature Trust has been eyeing the parcel of land for more than two decades and recently bought it from a private owner for just over $2 million.

good night to everyone except 'tenko is the lump of lead in shigaraki's heart' theorists

#yes‚ of course‚ the fact that the only remaining part of shigaraki that keeps him from being completely gone is getting worse now #definitely proves that that part was his main issue all along #and not like. being not allowed to grief and move on and the self-hatred he harbours #*head in hands* #usual salt #bnha #bnha spoilers #bnha 365 #shigaraki tomura #shimura tenko

So, ok, we are all hot for Santa Harbour, but, really...

What no one is talking about: I spent the whole movie itching to eat up some Gingerbread, FOR FUCKS SAKE. Also: come on, John Leguizamo. Dude was HOT in there. The retractable baton scene? I wanted to get on fours in the movie theatre and I don't even like caning.

I fucking hate this movie. <3

Obligatory Statement. I have been aware of current happenings! This is for sure! I can just sort of wish that Shbble can be somewhat at peace in all of this

consider this my public denouncement of That Guy

#vwoop.noises #WOW! EVERYONE HAS BEEN SO GENUINELY VILE ABOUT THIS! #I am absolutely biting my tongue but like. Wow this place sucks I don't respect any of you #Me when thoughtcrimes aren't real BUT if you even THINK of having concerns of harbouring an abuser in the community then you're evil actual #And probably seeecretly a cyberstalker and not like. The fact that this is deeply emotionally distressing to hear offhandedly so people lik #worried and sad and scared and hearing that isn't something you can get out of your head but I'm sure you love ppl with intrusive thoughts #What Ever. I've said my piece in private places. #And anyone making public callouts also sucks wholeheartedly dgmw but like this is Basic Information you don't need me to tell you #also character posting will probs? show up when this is less fresh because of my general attitude towards this #Like cdrm. queueblog will probably remain. When it is less fresh. Just on what I'm about; other people don't need to have the same opinions #Not that I do much fanstuff anymore. But if this comes up that's why. Not that like. yknow. #In a while. But yeah. I am disgusted by him overall #And I hope that she's as alright as you can be

Hayling Island Oysterbeds 02/12/23

Flora and fauna photos taken in this set are of: 1 and 10. The gorgeous Long-tailed Duck which we got stunning views of on the lagoon, an exquisite, excellent and charming bird I am overjoyed to see one in Hampshire this year after they were stars of the Scotland trip we went on in April. It was exceptional to see this one and filled me with glee, seeing it swim and then flying over the lagoon into the mist that had descended at the end of the walk was a magical natural experience. 2. Another star bird of my year seen well and in numbers feeding at the shore on the sides of the lagoon, not a bird I'd seen at this spot much before but a common one in Hampshire, Turnstone. 3. Another species I've thoroughly enjoyed seeing and photographing this year one of a few Rock Pipits seen well this afternoon. Its feathers shone line fine fabric in the winter sun. 4. I believe my first ever white melilot, a sweet milky flower to see. 5. A big Buzzard it was a treat to see out in the marsh, a beautiful and unique sight we got a splendid view of one flying over the road on the way here too. 6. One of a few Red-breasted Mergansers I loved seeing this afternoon, beautiful ducks, I have seen and photographed it and its cousin the Goosander this week which can't have happened often with photos of both Long-tailed Duck and Long-tailed Tit this week too. 7. Knots, Dunlins and Turnstones, there were possibly Grey Plover mixed into this big group too. It was exceptional to enjoy the winter spectacle of all of these together not only in the huddle but elegantly gliding through the air as the mist was falling. 8. Oxtongue a bright flower it was great to see a few of by the sea. 9. Brent Geese, it was so uplifting and joyful to see them so well and be immersed in the place with the quintessential winter sound of their honking. I made the most of seeing them throughout the walk with some cracking views and it was mystical to see them fade into the mist which made a good backdrop to them at the end of the walk.

Other bird highlights were a Kingfisher zipping across the sea with the tide in at the start, Shelduck, Little Grebes on the lagoon, Cormorant, Grey Heron, an eerie Little Egret view in the foggy light, Oystercatcher, Curlew, Redshank, Common Gull, Herring Gull, Blackbird, Robin, Carrion Crow and Magpie. Roe Deers seen well, daisy, teasel seed heads and hawthorn berries kissed by the winter sun beautifully, rose hips, burdock seed heads, fluffy old man's beard, tree mallow leaves and privet berries were also nice to see. I enjoyed seeing Grey Silverfish and many Goldfinches out the front at home today. An enriching winter day.
