Another angle on the chess-game . . .
and looking on ( in the red shorts ) is a sweet 13-year-old called Sheena -- who is Autistic ~ or should-I-say WAS autistic !
She is sweet-natured, and very intelligent, yet had only spoken rarely, until last year.
I always treat all the kids alike, and gave her a cheerful greeting every day.
One day, she came and sat next to me, put her head on my shoulder, and said very softly -- in perfect English --
"Love you, Uncle Geoff" ... and has been engaging in gentle conversation ever since !!!
She and Bella are the only two who have ever called me "Uncle Geoff".......
All the rest call me TATAY -- without exception !!
