The joy of old friends is the fact that you can pick up from where you left off, more or less anyway. An old friend stayed overnight and it was great to see her. Of course there was a fair degree of talking about way back when, but also about the parallels of life and naturally what our offspring are up to.
Had a very good dinner of African Peanut Stew ( a recipe Tara found on Kathy's daughter in laws website called 'It's a plant based life.' Follow this link to see more: http://itsaplantbasedlife.com/ ) , lentils & rice followed by peach and pear crumble then more conversation till after midnight. A couple of bottles of both red & white were consumed, no surprise there I'm sure and a very good evening was had by all.
Chrissy was on her way up to Manchester & will be coming by this way again so we will be seeing more of her which is great and we'll call in when we're down Kent/Sussex way as well.
Chrissy & I went to college, that's about 39 years ago, inevitably life takes you in different directions and we didn't meet for years, though did keep in vague touch with xmas cards. FaceBook has been very useful for keeping abreast of what's been happening and its one of the reasons I'm so keen on FaceBook.
We spoke about a couple of others who neither of us has seen for years, a get together is a possibility but not a certainty, who knows!
Anyway, good times. It was really good to pick up with an old friend.
