Statue Of My Liberty

 I have a family here in my village.

And just like a blood family , I don’t always see some of them that often ,

But our lives are intertwined by a commonality of history, and sociability and events and community ..

And I love that 

Monday many of the villagers went to the Trelawnyd Community Association’s quiz held in the pub .

I met up with  Affable Despot Jason , his wife Clare and daughter Liv 

Liv was the wisecracking 8 year old I used to babysit who used to back comb William into a Tina Turner lookalike and who would make zombie cookies with me before smashing windfall apples with me for the pigs to eat in her new school shoes.

I haven’t seen her for an age, 

Now she’s talking about university planning 

At the quiz I told her that last year I bought a Lego Statue of Liberty and shared that I hadn’t made time to construct it 

“I could make it in a day “ she boasted

“I bet you 10£ that you couldn’t “ I challenged 

I lost 10£
