“On the occasions when I returned home on holiday, there was a certain place I would go to walk to the top of a familiar rocky hill overlooking the Atlantic. There I felt anchored again. I rarely do this now. This rocky place is so deeply embedded that I almost don’t need to revisit it.”

Shelley McNamara
