A close friend from my teens has just moved buck into my area - I am so excited to see her in the flesh again!
Her husband is a gamekeeper and all of his jobs have taken them to the back of beyond! His last job was over on the West coast where they were an 1 3/4 hour drive along a single track road to the nearest decent sized town and even then it wasn't huge! We never managed to visit them there due to one thing or another. They are still a little in the sticks but this time they are just over a mile up a dirt track as opossed to 10!!
She called last night to say they were back in our neck of the woods and also invited us to her son's birthday party at the weekend - it will be great to catch up with her and her family again - it is almost a year since I have seen her. We used to email alot but my computer died and I lost her email address.
I am hoping to see her before the weekend as the town I live in her nearest so she needs to come down this way for supplies.
Isn't it great when an old friend pops up again taht you haven't spoken to in awhile and it is just like you were always in contact - I guess that is what makes a real friend - time passes but there is nothing ackward when you meet up again.
