On Monday, I met such a friend. We have known each other since we were 5/6. We lost touch as teenagers and then when she moved back to Bradford (and on again) we got in touch and keep in touch. Now, I am not the best at keeping in touch. I find it difficult to balance my life caring for H and my life as me. I struggle to take the time to maintain friendships as I feel guilty if I am not helping H. This is something I am working on, allowing myself the time to have fun with friends. Now L and I are friends but we haven't met up in such a long time that I can't actually remember when we met up. If you'd have seen us on Monday you'd have thought we'd last met up last week. We sat for an hour and a half catching up over coffee and a sandwich. We even made loose plans to go to York in October to go to the Chocolate Story, and to arrange a monthly lunch and a 2 monthly sleep over (involving wine, I suspect!).
My fav photo of L (let me know if you don't like it L and I'll take it down), taken at our local when she used to live near by. We were sat there with H and it was just a fabulous night.
Then on Tuesday I went shopping with my Mum whilst Anni spent time with my Dad - win-win situation!!!! Mum and I went into Huddersfield to collect my Birthday present which broke on holiday and needed to be replaced. We then stopped in a lovely little cafe for lunch and shared a bottle of wine. We were sat there for nearly 2 hours. The only criticism was we shared a bowl of chips, now if you give small portions you shouldn't put it in a soup bowl...................
Cheers Mum.
My Birthday present from L included a new baking tray from Lakeland and other baking bits - did you guess I love to bake? Today I tried out the tray and made biscuits with a raspberry flavoured icing - I wonder if it's set yet. How many biscuits can I eat before I am a pig......... don't answer that one.
