Friends

You know when you haven't seen someone for years and you worry that you won't recognise them? My friend hasn't changed a bit! She was exactly as I remember meeting her, on a boat, after a race, 23 years ago (we had to work that one out from the age of her daughter), just in smarter clothes.

What fun we had reminiscing. Including many post race shenanigans (some probably best forgotten) and the time she left me in charge of her 6 yo child, who'd I'd only just met. Noone had EVER given me that much responsibility before, I remember being TERRIFIED (both the child and the friendship survived).

We won't leave it so long next time.
