Re: A new cousin
Well, my meeting with my cousin went very well. It was the first time I've ever been on a Romany Traveller's home site, and they made me us feel so welcome.
The site is a permanent site and there were only about 8 caravans there, but it was a real community with real community spirit, it was just so welcoming.
Of course, it took us a while to try and find it and when we eventually got there the first thing my cousin said was "You got lost, didn't you?"
But it was great, she'd cooked us a brilliant meal, and we got on like a house on fire. I don't know why I was so nervous!
Anyway we talked and talked and talked about our family connections and who came from which line,etc. The day just went too fast! But we're certainly going again, and she's going to visit us sometime, so we're looking forward to that.
All in all a good visit, and I can't wait till next time!
