The moment when you're watching a cute little movie about nervous newlyweds, and it turns into something so traumatic. That opening music really tricked me. But I should've known from the opening scenery. Hell, I should've known from the fact that it stars Saoirse goddamn Ronan.

I'm pissed.

Lo único que ella había necesitado era la certeza de que él la amaba y la tranquilidad de que él le hubiera dicho que no había prisa porque tenían toda la vida por delante. Con amor y paciencia -ojalá hubiera él tenido las dos cosas a un tiempo- sin duda los dos habrían salido adelante.

Oliver Smith: In October 2020, Storm Alex thrashed down on the Dorset coast: trees fell, streets flooded, cruise ships left Weymouth Bay for the safety of more distant waters. In the midst of the storm, ultrarunner David Andrewartha set out to run the length of Chesil Beach. In his pack were emergency medical supplies, energy gels and a packet of Haribo Starmix. Ahead of him were 18 miles of loose, ankle-shredding shingle — near-impossible to run on in any conditions, now besieged by 65mph winds and lavished by sheets of salty rain. Behind him were the twin spectres of grief and guilt he was trying to outpace. Grief: because he had recently lost his mother to cancer. Guilt: because he had, in his own words, “buried his head in the sand” in her last days: he had only wanted to remember her the way she was before the illness. Somehow Chesil Beach was a place where he believed this inner turmoil would be resolved. “What got me to the end was knowing — no matter what pain I was in, and how treacherous it was — it was nothing in comparison to what she went through,” he told me.

David had accidentally scheduled his run to coincide with the storm, but no matter: he would try for a new record time, and raise money for charity. The existing record had been set in 1963. Only two people had attempted it since. That seemed strange, considering the fame of Chesil Beach. But it was, I came to understand, one of the strange paradoxes of this eerie, empty part of the English coast. Chesil is one of Britain’s longest beaches and has been immortalised in postcards, paintings and fiction — most famously Ian McEwan’s 2007 novella. You can easily find it on a map. Most of the southern English coast is higgledy-piggledy: defined by the nibble and gnaw of erosion, the back and forth negotiations of sea and land. Chesil Beach, by contrast is a long, straight stretch of shore — looking like a line of correlation plotted on a graph, or something sketched by a draughtsman’s hand.

Chesil Beach stretches for 18 miles; for eight miles there is saltwater on both sides © Photography for the FT by Fern Leigh Albert It is mostly admired from afar — in his book England’s 100 Best Views, Simon Jenkins recommends you park up on the B-road west of Abbotsbury for the best panorama. Up close it is little known. From May 1 to August 31 — the time of year when England’s beaches teem with buckets, spades and sunburn — the central section of Chesil Beach is closed to visitors, to protect nesting birds.

One Good Habit: she loves to learn, which is why she’s such an avid reader (she and hermione are platonic soulmates on that end)

One Habit They Can’t Break: whenever cord gets anxious, she stress-bakes (everyone secretly loves the free desserts part, but not the anxious cord part)

Favorite Family Member: her aunt drea

A Story About That Family Member: cord lost her parents on her 11th birthday, which was also the day she learned she was a witch and so was her aunt drea. she fell into a depression after that, and drea would do anything to bring back her niece’s smile. so, on july 31st, she took her to diagon alley to get her supplies for hogwarts. it was the first time in a while that drea saw a smile on cord’s face

The view of Chesil Beach, Dorset from the Isle of Portland.

Day 4 of my business trip with the trainees and apprentices is going to be more intense than yesterday. They will get the chance to play with some of the most recent military technology currently in use.
