So my very oldest friend is Claire White, who I met when we were 4 years old, and its amazing that we are still in touch all these decades later.
A few years ago though, I decided to cyber stalk another old chum, who was then called – and always will be to me – Fiona Townley. Turns out that she, like Claire, lives in Epsom, and she – like us – has a spaniel. Hers a Sussex Spaniel called Harvey.
Anyway, we've met up for a few coffees over the past year or so and she popped round for a cuppa this week. Scrumpy was extra pleased as she came with a bag of dog treats that Harvey isn't keen on – obviously Scrumpy practically ate the packaging as well as the nibbles inside it, and was very keen on Fiona after that.
Funny isn't it how a shared history brings people together still, even when many years have passed, and lives may be quite different. Always good to catch up and see how things are – and the fairy cakes that also came along were very welcome too – thank you!
