Does Wellow exist?
Wellow is a combination of a town called Ventnor on the Isle of Wight, and Southwold in Suffolk which is where I live now. Tempest Bay and Soul Bay are approximations of the coast that runs from St Catherine’s Point on the Island, to the Needles. I grew up on the Isle of Wight, in Cowes, and from the very first time I saw the south coast of the Island I fell in love with it. As soon as I learnt how to drive I would go there at every opportunity with friends, or alone. Rain or shine I have always found it breathtaking. My friend and I even went there on Boxing Day once when the weather was so bad we couldn’t get out of the car. It still looked beautiful though.
