That Wee Ginger Girl
Amelia Jessica Pond is at that delicate stage in her life when, at the tender age of six and two thirds, she knows exactly what she wants.
Leadworth certainly isn't it. Leadworth, with its duck pond that doesn't have any ducks, its lack of any amenities other than a post office, a hospital and a school, and, most importantly, with its complete and utter lack of Scottishness.
Because really, Amelia's Scottish. She's got the fiery red hair and the fierce accent to prove it. She should be at home in Inverness in her parents' old-fashioned cottage with her parents. Not in ruddy Leadworth with ruddy Aunt Sharon, perched on her suitcase in front of their new house while she watches the removal men carry their boxes inside.
But then, she didn't exactly have much say in the matter. Six-year-olds never do.
