Aliz

Meet Aliz.  We have known each other for years.  I was one of the first people she met when she moved with her family from Hungary.  Her English was pretty non-existent and we used to communicate slowly and mostly by a kind of sign language we half invented.  
A lot has happened since then.  Her English is now very competent and although we still use our hands to communicate it is just for emphasis and expression, rather than need.  
The only thing that hasn’t changed is her zest for life and that riotous laughter of hers, spontaneous and contagious.  


There is nothing black and white with Aliz.  She is full technicolour. But the picture looked better in mono.  So, sorry Aliz, not trying to subdue you, just trying to hide a bit my lack of artistry…

I am switching comments back on. I’ve missed them too much, and still feel guilty...
