This week’s Book of the Week on Radio 4, Tim Winton’s Land’s End - A Coastal Memoir, brought childhood memories flooding back for me. Beautiful, evocative writing. While my body was making coffee in my cold kitchen my mind was miles and years away remembering salt water dried to a crust on downy bleached arm hair, damp sand clinging to over-browned feet and whole afternoons spent floating in the sea, ducking under waves as they crashed in.
