Sky Garden

 Well , I am on the way home again.
It's been a fantastic 24 hours.
Nuala ( Nu) as usual made my visit special....even down to bagging the best table at the Sky Garden's restaurant by stating that it was my 40 th birthday. The hostess , polite as she was didn't batter an eyelid ( as when have I ever looked 40? Even when I was 30 I didnt look 40) and the cute as a button waiter brought us two tiny chocolate cakes and a candle which we laughed over until we wept.
 It was lovely to touch base and it was lovely to recharge with a best friend of some 26 years.....
The best time

  4. Old friends are the best ones - as comfortable as carpet slippers... but not as smelly nor are they covered in bulldog saliva.

    Sometimes a day like that is exactly what you need.
    Glad you had a good time and can now sit back and relax - if the dogs let you of course...

  9. That is so lovely! I had dinner in London with my best friend at school- we drifted apart after that but 30 plus years later, we spent a long and hilarious and fun night together and it could have gone on for days! Friends really do make the world go around :)

  16. I envy you that eternal friendship, renewed faithfully across the years and miles. And somehow, Slappy Birthday better represents that first photo than the more traditional greeting would.

  25. You don't think you look 40? Huh. I guess it comes to all of us.....

  26. I can say with absolute confidence that you don't look one day over 40. :-)

  27. Of course you look 40 ... if you squint into the sun, with one eye shut AND you have your back to us .... you do look 40 ;-)

    Everyone should have a friend like NU, you treasure each other just as you should. Lovely to see you having so much fun. xx
