Today's story is "The Train to Glasgow" by Wilma Horsbrugh
and afraid in a land I never made
Val Howells - writer, lone sailor, fisherman, and farmer takes a wry look at his neighbours in the Wales the tourist never sees. The lobster fishermen of Cardigan Bay form an isolated community inside the society of West Wales. They are Val Howells's neighbours, but as soon as he made a lobster pot they became his rivals and competitors, too.
Tonight he muses on their mutual tribulations.
