The centre of a universe...

Neston. A small market town in the Wirral, a peninsula between Liverpool and Wales. We lived there some 13 years ago and still coming back every so now and than. It became our second home. Walking through its centre, visiting the local market on Fridays and its friendly merchants. We even stayed for longer periods more recently, children included. We really got well adapted to English life. Moreover because of our involvement in the local school. The Neston Primary School, a small but great primary school with a splendid staff and nice parents, where children are accounted for who they are... Happy times.

This painting was our gift for the school as a token of our gratitude... Neston cross, the centre of the village, our centre in England.
