‘spent ½ of this morning sitting in front of the motif waiting for the sky to blow clear, which it didn’t, but it has made for my favourite sort of afternoon here. Huge slow clouds from the south. Mostly sunny & clear pinkish blue to the southern horizon (towards the sea where I spent August in 1934 – my first visit to Devonshire & my first long lasting sense of loss (well it lasted all of five minutes as the hired car carried us away from Warren Cottage, built in the [?] 80s by Lord Revelstoke with money from Plymouth Breakwater – as a shooting lodge – now owned by the National Trust, not for its own beauty but for its setting which is on the best cliffs I know (different but no finer than the place we walked to the south of Deal that fine April day when there was a sea mist & a very Turneresque sail yellowish in it.
From Warren my bro’ & I could just see, looking north, the China Clay mounds. Now I see them back to front & live in the Looking Glass as it were. This has something to do with painting (like the back of ones head) but I’m too idle to make sense of it.’– Excerpt from a letter Jean Jones sent to David Carritt about her childhood experience of Devon
