It took the children a long time to reach Le Petit Aiguillon because the rock pools that had been left uncovered by the tide were a world in themselves to which William had not as yet been introduced. The brimming water in each pool was like a clear mirror through which one looked down at feathery seaweed like pale pink ostrich feathers or long streamers of dark red ribbon , the grass like “plize” that made miniature fairy forests with shells entangled in the undergrowth, sea anemones of every lovely imaginable shape, some like smooth round crimson cushions, some like daisies, and others like velvet rosettes. Rock shrimps and tiny crabs darted about in the pools and limpets clung to the rocks. The gulls and flocks of red-legged cahouettes circled about them, but the cormorants with their snake-like black heads kept at a distance.

Goudge Talk this month is devoted to food, and the wonderful recipes inspired by one in particular of Elizabeth’s books. Come and indulge yourself in a fantasy of Epicurean Delight.

This site is being set up and run with the help and cooperation of some of the people who have grown to love the talented shy author of a collection of literary gems, most of which go unnoticed by the mass of society today. This she would accept with a humble gratitude, content with the success she achieved in her lifetime.

“This site has been established with the support of the Trustees of Elizabeth’s Estate. The content of the site is, however, the sole responsibility of its contributors.” Mark Dutton.

I hope that this site will to a large extent,
be fan based and led. Let me have any ideas that you have about what you would like to see on this site.
