| The special light in St Ives is not a media illusion (Letters, 15 December). The town is situated on a promontory with wide beaches on three sides. They are made of fluorite-based sand, which reflects light particularly brilliantly, and which is found where granite rock has eroded. Such beaches are found elsewhere, for instance in Cornwall and parts of Scotland. Some of the Scottish colourists may have been familiar with similar beaches: perhaps an art expert could provide further illumination on this?Dr Jacqui StewartExeter | The special light in St Ives is not a media illusion (Letters, 15 December).

| • While Mike Farley (Letters, 14 December) is heartened to know that temperatures care about us when they “struggle” to rise and keep us warm, I am less sanguine. Clouds “organise” to come between us and the sun and apparently last week in Scotland they were even “ganging up” on us.
