Port Gaverne and Port Quin lovely spots Henri and my dad would always get sentimental about Port Quin, didn't all the men get lost at sea and just the women were left behind? We used to groan every time he started on the story but when you go there it seems to add to the atmosphere hugely.
Yes, I don't know if it was the story that always made Port Quin seem melancholy to me - I often walked there, over the cliffs, and rarely met a soul door to door. The legend I heard was that once the men all died at sea in a single episode, the women moved out instantly and it was never repopulated. Hence just about nothing there in the way of houses? (as I remember it?)
My real name is Henrietta - Henri stuck (like names do - for no reason) from when I was sixteen and at boarding school, which I hated. (Well, it's no worse than Hen or Henny, which were sometimes
awarded to me in my youth, and when I
started writing a lot of horoscope columns
the full nine syllables was too much of a
mouthful to put on a by-line - Henri Ll. D in itself is more than long enough!)
I am a psychic astrologer, doing personal readings, and I love my work - which I've been doing for (almost) three decades. I
also write. Work website: http://www.henrillewelyndavies.com/
