Growing up and growing apart

We spent the weekend in Kent and it's clear to see how quickly people can grow up and grow apart. Let me explain...
My goddaughter has just turned 3, not a good 3, screaming and shouting to get her own way and is the clone of her mum (not a good thing!!!) so she has grown up a lot since I last saw her in October- you'll probably remember my 100 page blip rant on how badly behaved she was.

We also spent the weekend seeing friends and family (although we didn't get to see everyone we wanted to...) it's clear that although we have only been gone for 6 months some people have completely cut us out of their lives. On the other hand people we expected to loose contact with are now the ones that we see and speak to regularly, 6 of our friends have even said they will come to our wedding- regardless of where it is (we're thinking of running away to Barbados!!!)

So the moral of this weekend is "expect the unexpected"
