Finlay notes that Walston is a landlocked village on the hillside opposite the author’s home.
All the other place names are French coastal communes where the nighttime lights would act as a welcome (and warming) beacon for returning boats. Finlay is suggesting his view of Walston is as welcoming. He dedicates the books to “Ailie”. VG+.
