With a little help from my friends

I had a lovely day meeting up with some old friends today.  It was so ...... To have a chance to catch up on what has been happening in everyone's lives.  

You see Facebook updates and send text messages, but nothing can ever beat, sitting around and having a good old gossip.

There was a time we would have met in a bar, had quite a few "cider and blacks" and then gone out boogieing until the wee hours of the morning.  

Age and life, however, have civilised us.  A lovely stroll along the Thames, a bite to eat and a cup tea, then a very long and much needed chat in a tucked away pub, were the order if the day.  And it was bliss, we must do it again soon. 

Thank you ladies, sometimes only old friends can put things into perspective.
