Avalanche

Avalanche

I was literally born on an island in the middle of a river in the middle of a medieval city in the middle of Europe in the middle of the last century. The island was the hideout of mountebanks and various disturbers of the peace, then it became the king’s very own hunting-ground, and then they built a bridge and it became a fairground, and they built a maternity hospital there as well. Now there’s a tennis-court where the likes of Lendl used to train.

My ancestors feature various interesting folk, tricksters and gypsies, performers and jesters…some well outside the system, others working it from within.

I miss the old city, and one day will go back and visit her.

It’s always about love, one way or another.
Avalanche.
