A pen-and-ink picture of the shore on Grimbleton Hill, with a lit lighthouse, fog, boats and fishermen’s cottages

The Shore

The Fog-Walkers

Most nights a fog comes in off the sea, and they come in with it, so nobody sees them arrive.

Morning sign

Sheets that are damp and smell a little of seaweed.

Custom

When the foghorn sounds, every one of them stops and stands still until it ends.

Home

The fishermen’s cottages, behind the nets.
