Heddon on the Wall after the Australians ...



At Heddon on the Wall, we had our first sight of The Wall

We'd walked past silent farms, under dark trees, our boots cushioned by rugs of fallen leaves - 

The Tyne was still deep and wide - two jet skis disturbed its surface - a church spire pointed to heaven - 

Australians took photographs of the Wall with their Korean digital cameras - I saw large faces under baseball caps -  

After fifteen minutes, they were urged onto the purring coach - soon we were left alone, standing by the Wall - 

Clouds moved over the sky - ancient memories, I thought, were like pale fires -
