Sharing memories

A has come to visit. She is an old college mate and we last saw each other about 35 years ago! A went out to Australia in about 1976 and has stayed there ever since having married and with a family. She is also a good friend of all the friends that came to supper the other evening their having all been in Sydney at the same time with several others. Why wasn't I ever in Australia, everyone else seemed to be! The truth is that when I returned from Southern Africa I knew it was for good although I did go to the USA for nine months shortly afterwards but most of my roots are here.
