You've come a long way baby

I had an absolutely awesome night last night, catching up with the two schoolfriends mentioned here. I can't remember the last time I laughed so much. And then finding we had friends in common just blew me away. The one who lives out of town spent the night at my place - we sat up until 2.30am talking. I can't remember when I last did that!

It was after 2pm by the time she left.

First - group shot, taken on the occasion of my 14th birthday. Girl who stayed the night (Giulia)is second from the left; girl who lives close by (Lynne) is on the far right.

Second - Giulia stars...

Third - me. I don't recall when this one was taken (but I remember the two-tone cords!)

And now:



Even after all these years I still felt as comfortable with these two as I used to, as if the intervening years never happened.
PS I can't wait to play blind cricket....
