An awesome read from a Chirker now resident in the US. Even more heartwarming having known Cussy well myself. Great job Tina.

What a picture you paint (literally and literarily) of the people and places that make Chirk what it is, Tina! Nicely done. The images you included, which I assume are your paintings, as well as the words, JUMP off of the page. You go, girl. Keep writing. You have found a great subject, do some digging in, deep diving.

I was bowling along quite happily immersed in the descriptions of Chirk but fell over on ‘ alleged sexual deviant’ .. what do they mean? Does Chirk have a homophobic ‘curtain twitchy’ tendency . Off I went to research Mr Gill .. aha you mean he was a predatory incestuous sexual abuser.Brushing that under the carpet of sexual deviance doesn’t work , call it out or leave it out.
