“I didn’t really think through what a lighthouse keeper actually did. I was attracted by the romantic notion of sitting on a rock, writing haikus & dashing off the occasional watercolour.”
—Peter Hill in the London Review of Books

16 & 17 August is the International Lighthouse and Lightship Weekend
