The ghost of Doris must be summoned to recount this strange occasion, because I remember little about it.

Doris: We had Keith and Mick down in Beesands in Devon for the weekend one summer when they were sixteen, seventeen. They used to run coaches from Dartford. Keith had his guitar with him. And Mick was bored to tears down there. “No women,” he said. “No women."

alan never quite found a balance between the dark and the light. from infancy, he suffered from aural migraines onset by too-bright lights and over-stimulation. even though the light could be a literal pain, the dark was no better. he feared the unknown lurking behind shadows, shut curtains, and closed doors. his mother was finally the one to give him some hope in the darkness with "the clicker." it was just an old light switch the family had laying around the basement, but to alan it was a life-preserver. every time he felt fear creeping in from the dark, he could flip the switch and his whole world seemed to brighten. forget teddy bears or nightlights, the clicker was what he carried on overnight trips and held close to his chest each night as he slept.

even as alan grew up, the clicker was a habit he couldn't kick. by the time he was in college—a moody english major with a penchant for herbal cigarettes—it became a part of a pick up method when attractive co-eds would ask what he was doing carrying around a light switch in a bar. it was easy enough for him to make up some tragic or fascinating tale that would lead to an epic one-night stand. he had somewhat of a reputation for being a heartbreaker, but the school was big enough that it didn't spread to every possible hookup. if anything, the rumors made him more mysterious and charming, as he was gossiped about as an artist struggling with deep emotions and an inability to commit. even if he was a bit of an asshole and a playboy, he truly was an artist with a talent unmatched by his peers.

by graduation, alan had already signed a publishing deal for a book he'd begun writing his freshman year: alex casey. he moved up to new york city to be closer to his publishing house, and picked up some odd jobs along the way to keep the lights on while he waited for his advance to roll in. one of those jobs, as a night watchman, led him to his future wife.

alice was attempting to break and enter, thinking the warehouse alan watched over was abandoned after dark. all she needed was to get some photographs for a series she was putting together. alan put the kibosh on that quickly, but he couldn't get her out of his head. he let her go with a soft warning, and a request to take her out to dinner.

she accepted, and the rest is history.

a successful six-book series and two moves later, they've wound up in litwick hoping to get away from city life. with writer's block weighing down on him, and a lack of motivation to get out of bed most days, alice thought the move might bring some much needed clarity. he's been four years sober, and fears that his writing talents may have been connected to the bottle. the last time he put out a book was three years ago, and the masses are hungrily awaiting the conclusion to vincent scratch's alex casey mystery.

maybe he's no longer cut out for writing. maybe he's destined to spend his days dusting bookshelves and ordering new bestsellers from the publishing house he was once the king of.

his agent, barry, keeps calling to ask about his contract, but those calls have gone unanswered for far too long.

it's time for a change, and an expensive clinical psychologist.

Beesands

You may recall we had quite a fright with my Mrs health-wise in March. Since then, she had been gradually improving. Still, sometimes it feels a bit like 2 steps forward some days and then 2 steps back other days. We had planned to venture down to Cornwall – about 2 hours’ drive – for a couple of days this May 6th bank holiday weekend. Last week, though, she said she did not really feel up to it…

Beesands, Devon A handmade birth day card painted in watercolour. Inspired by 2 sketchbook watercolours painted on location on a trip to Devon. I remember the weather being varied, summer showers and bright sunshine. It all made for some interesting colours. #beesands #beesandsbeach #devon #watercolour #watercolourpainting #seascape #seascape #seascape (at Alan Reed Art) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNA9xbmrtI5/?igshid=106usizcna4pm

Our next stop was South Devon, thanks for our ex-collage Amy, who lives here with her family in a Newton Farm.

/A következő megállónk Dél Devon volt, ex-kollégánknak, Amynek köszönhetően, aki meginvitált minket a családi farmra. 

We met in Totnes. We just looked round in this market town really quickly, but the fact is, I have never seen before so many hippies with their shops anywhere in my life. Crazy and likeable. 

/ Totnesben találkoztunk. Csak egy gyors városnézésre volt időnk. Ez az idő épp arra volt elég, hogy megállapítsam életemben nem láttam még ennyi hippy-it és a szubkultúrához tartozó üzleteket sehol életemben. Őrült, de szimpatikus volt. 

BEESANDS – TORCROSS

We were in the nearest beach, and because the sun was shining, we could walking. It’s an interesting area, because you walking between the ocean and some lakes.

/ A legközelebbi strandon is voltunk. Mivel az égiek kegyesek voltak hozzánk, és sütött a nap, így egész sokat tudtunk sétálni. Nagyon érdekes tájék ez, mivel az Óceán és különböző tópartok között vezet az utad.

We walked from Beesands to Torcross.

/ Beesands-től Torcross felé sétáltunk.

In Torcross we watched the tank-sculpture, we had a delicious dinner in the Start Bay Inn and we walked back. We were lucky, because in the season, this area is very popular. Tourists everywhere, and you need 1-2 hours while you get a table.

/ Torcross-ban megnéztük a tank-szobrot és egy kimondottan ízleteset ebédeltünk a Start Bay Inn-ben. Majd visszasétáltunk. Szerencsések voltunk, mivel állítólag szezonban minden zsúfolásig megtelik turistákkal, és órák mire tudsz asztalt szerezni.

After that we had enought time to look round in the family field and we could meet with the grandparetns as well.

All in all we were really lucky, because we got an insight to the farm life in England. It was short, but perfect time.

/ Ezután még arra is volt elég időnk, hogy körbenézzünk a farmon és találkozzunk a nagyszülőkkel.

Mindent egybevetve, nagyon szerencsések vagyunk, hogy betekintést nyerhettünk az angliai farm-életbe. Tökéletes program volt, a a rendelkezésre álló kevéske idő ellenére is!
