So near yet so far…
My Mum was telling me about a friend of hers who had some relatives staying with her. Then Littleone buts in,
Littleone; Are they still there?
Mum: Who?
L: The children.
M: No. They have gone home now.
L: Where do they live?
M: In a patronising you-wont-understand voice. Oooooh a long way away.
L: Do they live in Australia?
M: In same voice. No they live in a country called Canada. It's....
L: Oh yes. I know. We went there once for some apple juice.
It took me a while but I did eventually work out that she was thinking of Camden.*
*For those who don't know. Camden is in fact in North London probably about 50 miles from here, I guess it's distance is just a matter of perspective. And no we didn't go there *just* for apple juice.
