Never underestimate friendship
During rough times friends are the lifebelts of your world,
They keep your head above water
Today I'm in my hometown
and seeing eight dear friends in a well choreographed set of meet ups.
Vince, Bev and Maisie, Mick , Mike, Jane, Kathryn and hopefully a very arch Jonney H

I would say that that photo was taken from Meersbrook Park.
ReplyDeleteI think you would be right

ReplyDeleteUrsula. Again you have chosen to ridicule me and my friends after stating very clearly that you wouldnt blog a comment ever again. And then have the audacity to complain about being deleted .
ReplyDeleteI gave you a second chance here a little while ago because your comments were not personal or negative to anyone else...but that changed and from now on you will be deleted. Every comment will be deleted.
And it is all your fault

DeleteNo preaching . I just want to be very clear
DeleteAre you thinking of moving back there?
ReplyDeleteNo, but I have considered it. It's my touchstone, my bolt hole, my happy place, but things move forward and not backwards soat the moment , I am staying in wales, especially as I am lucky enough to get myself a job at 57!!
Deletei'm so happy that things are going well for you! you have some good friends!
ReplyDeleteMe too
DeleteEnjoy your time with friends. I'm just catching up with several posts. I hope your eye is better!
ReplyDeleteIt's aching but fine.. I looked like a zombie in choir last night
DeleteI love the life belt analogy John. So glad you have good friends past and present to support and cherish you x
ReplyDeleteI've just added one one to my list!
DeleteWhen times are bad you learn who your real friends are...and they are truly lifebelts. A rainbow in someone's cloud (not my saying but a good one).
ReplyDeleteI've bored them all to death over this past year.. today it's more fun
DeleteGood...have a great day!
DeleteI know nothing about Sheffield except that Doctor Who is now filmed there. Combined with the fact that you heart the town, that's good enough for me.
ReplyDeleteI heart Sheffield, too.
Harry , ever visit, and the Yorkshire people would be very welcoming x
DeleteGood friends are priceless and you are fortunate to have so many - and they are equally lucky to have you as a friend.
ReplyDeleteHave fun!
ReplyDeleteI am xx
DeleteI love your definition of friends, Human Lifebelts. So true.
ReplyDeleteFriends are the family we chose.
ReplyDeleteI cannot imagine going to my hometown. I haven’t been there in YEARS,
XoXo
Sound like a wonderful time with dear friends. Enjoy yourself John!
ReplyDeleteThat's wonderful, catching up with old friends is important, especially as we move past thirty... nine... plus... years. Lol.
ReplyDeletelooks like a nice place, although I know pix CAN be deceiving. have a great day with your lifebelts!
ReplyDeleteAs often as you've mentioned your love of Sheffield here, I am delighted that you're there once more! Your well choreographed meetings with special friends is just the ticket and I hope your heart is full of happiness when it's time to go home again.
ReplyDeleteHugs!
It's so good to have friends.
ReplyDeleteSounds like an excellent day. Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteHave a great time with your friends.

Yes, what would we do without them!
ReplyDeleteMeeting up with one of my oldest friends tomorrow. She is here from Toronto and we have a lot to catch up on.
I like the idea of human lifebelts - could do with a few myself. Have a good day. x
ReplyDeleteGood friends are like family. Enjoy your time.
ReplyDeleteIt's not the place. It is the people. My old hometown is nothing to me now, there is nobody I know there any more. But I still have some friends I made there as a girl, scattered across the map. We may not have seen each other for months, years even, but when we do get to see each other, we pick up like we last saw each other yesterday. A small miracle, but a miracle nonetheless.
ReplyDeleteHave a great time! It's important to keep old friendships alive!
ReplyDeleteHuman lifebelts, well said.
ReplyDeleteGood on you John sounds like a fun time.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun time is in store. Enjoy!
