Hi Diane.

Recalling friendships and age gaps of younger and older friends. Unfortunately I have to update you on my friend who lived in Canada after emigrating from the UK about 15 years ago. After a really hard fought battle with cancer she passed away three weeks ago, bless her. She was 64 (9 years younger than myself)We have seen one another via weekly video calls and she visited a couple of times. Wednesdays (the video day) have taken a very strange turn and I am almost praying my phone will ring.

I am smiling thinking of her though, as her giggle will always be there and after 45 years of friendship we have been through a few ups and downs together, as you can imagine.

A thought..I always sent W.Weekly to her ...now that has made me giggle. Lots of love xx

Thank you Diane. I need to re-read this as I am one of the bleary eyed brigade - I live in Billericay so two recounts kept things exciting for us …..

Well done for staying the course. Predictably I conked out just past midnight! Was the eventual result what you wanted?
