"La Mouette" (inspired by Daphne du Maurier's "Frenchman's Creek")

bored with her London self and life

with the role of dutiful

mother and wife


a fugitive

she arrives in Cornwall

at Navron

the family estate


seeking to escape

from that other life

that other Dona

the masquerade

that was no life at all


and the peace

that she craves

she finds it here

and yet

is it really the peace

that she seeks

or adventure

passion

danger

love


an enchanted creek

pirate ship

Frenchman - fugitive - kindred spirit

an artist - sketching a heron

La Mouette

adventure

passion

danger

and love
