Hello my lovely readers
So far on this trip I've loved catching up with friends I haven't seen for years - literally - but we've usually forgotten to take photos. That has changed today, on our visit to Mel and Desi's place in Pringle Bay. Desi and I have been friends since we were teenagers (when he would hitch rides on the back of my chair!), and he, Mel and her lovely (late) partner Nancy have always been significant members of our found family. It's such a joy to reconnect, and feels as though we've slipped right back into old habits. Nancy is of course dearly missed, yet extremely present too, and I hope she would approve of our antics.
The featured picture has me and Desi in the foreground and Jojo and Mel in the background.

This poem is a homage to dear friends
with whom I still maintain a strong connection
and holds the hope that our link will extend
for many further years of fond reflection.
There's such a special place within my soul
for those who've always striven to include
me in our plans; it makes me feel whole
and grateful for their willing attitude.
When Desi knew I'd like to have a dance
or race as he ran right beside my chair
he'd jump up, keen to let me have a chance.
'Tho' time has passed, it seems that nothing's changed
except, perhaps, with longer legs, his range!
