Once Upon a Day on Alnay

Once Upon a Day on Alnay by Martin P. Eccles. An island in the Cheviot Hills. North. Eight miles to the Scottish border. Three times I walk around and across the island: farmland to moorland track, to rough grass, village rookery to distant curlew, an ebb and flow of sounds against a backdrop of rural quietude with a farming pulse. Twenty-four hours, once upon a day on Alnay.
