Dinner with my longest standing friend

I have confused myself with the title for this one. This is the friend I have known since I was born but this does not make her my oldest friend. She is not standing in the picture but it is late and my brain is out of words. I am visiting my brother and parents for a few days. It has been lovely to spend some time with my brother today and yesterday and then to have dinner with V this evening. The joy of such long standing friendship is not needing to explain context. We talked and cried and ate really good food. Miso and sesame roasted aubergine followed by a very pretty caramelised lemon tart all within a 15 min walk of my parents house.
