SUMMER VISIT 2007

By Marion Stoddart
From Llansannan the children went to their host families in Liverpool for the next three weeks , the day after their arrival all enjoyed a welcome party at Kevins and due to his excellent cuisine weightwatchers went out of the window. We enjoyed a full programme of events during their stay and mostly the weather held out. New and old host families worked well together and the children were treated like royalty wherever we visited. We watched a ³pre season friendly² from the directorıs box at Everton and the children were given shirts. Food did seem to play a major role during our holiday as we dined out on a regular basis, usually free of charge. The children swam and bowled, we ferried across the Mersey. We meandered the canal on a barge, Vika fed every duck in sight, and we visited Blackpool, Chester Zoo, too many places to mention. Then Kenıs farewell party!! Linda summed it up beautifully with ³Only in Liverpool;² as she photographed our ³sober² men dressed in costume dancing to YMCA, quickly followed by our ³Morris Dancers² complete with bells and ribbons. The holiday can be summed up by a postcard sent home to Belarus, translated it read ³I love and miss you very much, but I donıt want to go home. |
