In a way, my roots were bound to go this deep: both my parents are from the village, my 4 grandparents were all from the village (my grandma is still alive and kicking: she’s only 73 so she’ll hopefully still be around for a long time!), 7 of my 8 great-grandparents were from the village, and I guess I could go back in time and find that most of my ancestors were from here. I have been lucky enough to have young parents and grandparents, so that my parents’ aunts and uncles have been my aunts and uncles too, and their cousins have been my cousins too. Some of them were in fact closer in age to me than to them. I have known 3 of my great-grandparents, who passed well after I was 10 (the last one as late as 1994, and I have written a post about her for the Velvet Escape Blog, The Rebel).

When you are not a native speaker it's sometimes hard to express things as you would like. I have to say, this has been a fantastic opportunity to remember things that I hadn't thought of in a long, long time. Everyday life sometimes makes you forget precious moments.
