before she came along, walked her as a pup and then her pups and their pups. We’ve cut and tramped the grass around this island, heard the wind in the same trees. Yesterday, we climbed down to the pebble splash at Egypt and I saw three dolphins breaching out on the waves. The dog stood watching and then barrelled away into the bracken. There was nothing smart to say and the dolphins were gone around the point so I followed after her. I am time itself, watching the seasons of life tumble by for this dog and me.
