We spent our early years travelling the globe, documenting the wildlife we saw along the way. Luke, always behind the camera, filmed and photographed, while I wrote the stories that ran alongside his visuals. My role also involved supporting him in various ways – like holding his ankles as he dangled precariously from a rooftop in Delhi to capture a shot of black kites. We were living the dream. But dreams can be exhausting.

Around 11,000 years ago, at the beginning of the Holocene, hunter-gatherers occupied this lakeside camp. Today, that lake has vanished and not much is known about the inhabitants’ lives. But what little information we have only enhances its mystery. Most famous are the deer skull headdresses: were they used for ritual purposes, or something else? Then there is the environment: what must it have been like to live among such natural abundance?

Beyond that is the sea, partially concealed by thick mist, which is creeping over the moorland.

The reason for that is obvious; fishers are far too busy fishing to pen memoirs. Step in Ashley Mullenger, an outspoken female fisherman (yes, she calls herself a ‘fisherman’). With support from a ghost-writer, My Fishing Life: A Story of the Sea is Mullenger’s invitation to us to step into her world. My Fishing Life is not and does not set out to be nature writing, much like the last notable book on the subject, Dark, Salt, Clear: Life in a Cornish Fishing Town by Lamorna Ash.
