What a funny little island this is. What a curious, luminous, blusteringly beautiful speck of a place. Alderney is the Channel Island that no one has heard of. It is not the biggest one, or the smallest, or the one with famous cows or without any cars. Alderney is the beguiling one. The one you lose your heart to. It is like joining a secret society, flying here in a tinpot 12-seater, buffeted by every breeze. Three square miles, just off France â yet so much space, so much drama in its coastline, heart-skippingly beautiful beaches around every corner. The light! The colour! The sea is kingfisher blue. They say the waters flow all the way from the Caribbean on the Gulf Stream, accounting for the exotic shells along the shore, the dolphins and basking sharks who come for the sunny microclimate (islanders take a dip on New Year s Day). Summer lasts forever here, or seems to. It is not like Britain at all. (It is not, actually, Britain at all.)

The Muses of Arch Beach
Ever felt the joy of writing something that transcends your normal stuff? It’s a sweet moment, isn’t it? Writers, caught by the beauty of their words, may credit one of the Greek muses. In Laguna, we have the muses of Arch Beach, which leads to a story from Laguna’s early days.
Canyon Acres was homesteaded by Harvey Hemenway who had two sisters, Sylvia and Elizabeth. Elizabeth married a Connecticut boy named Henry Goff whose three brothers, Frank, Hub and Leon (Lee) also came to Laguna.
Sylvia married a Spencer Brooks and they had four children before his death in Texas: Nate, Will, Oliver and Melissa (Lizzie). They came here too. Two of the Brooks married Clapps (Will to Annie Clapp, and Melissa to Will Clapp).
