Yesterday morning a friend came for coffee, we were in school together when we were 7 and altho her family moved away for a few years we kept in touch.
We came from vastly different back grounds. Her father had two shops in the town, news agents, one was in the village just outside of town which she managed. I used to call in to see her with my children, when we lived there in the sixties and she used to spoil my children allowing them to chose a book or a small toy as well as giving them sweets.
We laughed and laughed yesterday., when I used to threaten her with the dentistry bills I might have to pay out with all the sweets they ate from her.
I do have some lovely photo graphs of my two children and her outside the shop in the brilliant sunshine, I must look it up and others.
I always said my second child's labour and delivery was easy, because she had driven me in her little mini at top speed to the hospital over every bump there was on the road!
It was lovely chatting yesterday and remembering those sunny days when we were young. We've known each other for 75 years!
