What's in a name ? Schizophrenia.

 A summer's day in August. It feels warm. The wind must be blowing from the south. A strong sun is shining over the pebble beach at the Knap and the wide sands of the old harbour. Too silted and shallow for boats it is now being used as a place to sit, play and swim. Across the channel Somerset is clearly outlined.
