Tuesday 10th June at 7pm....

It was the next Elmwood meet, as we call it, this evening and six of us made it to the usual venue. There can be nine. We reckon we have been meeting every six weeks or so for the last twenty plus years now...and we never run out of things to share. Some of us have taught in three different schools together over that time and we have all become firm and strong friends.

"Friendship is not something about which we can learn rules. Friendship and loving are arts.......Friends are free individuals who risk being themselves with each other...people who share their uniqueness and delight in seeing each other grow as a result of their shared relationship......

Without friends, we cannot be fully human. We have to be, and to have, friends"
