Old Friends

Uncategorised 1 Minutes

Christmas day, 2019, enjoying a little bit of Christmas cheer with friends I’ve known for over 25 years. This is the first time I’ve ever gone to the pub on Christmas day, ever. I couldn’t miss the chance to enjoy the peace and quiet because it was the first Christmas we’ve had without the kids and grandchildren around us at home.

I enjoyed the small get together but I missed the noisy excitement of the grandchildren opening their presents.

  14. I have an old friend. Whenever we get together we always remind each other of Simon and Garfunkel’s song “Old friends…sit on a park bench like bookends…” Theres something about them…familiar comfortable…
