The Way Home


The Way Home, originally uploaded by Lú_.

Once upon a time, the Fyshes lived in Norforlk, in the Fenlands outside of King's Lynn. Our branch left there, brothers together with their wives and children, long since -- first for London, outside the City, later for what was then Upper Canada. This summer some of us went back, if only for a day or two. But gravestones from centuries ago are also long since worn away, by the sea air, and even the ghosts seem to have blown across that flat landscape to the west.
