I met up with my past today. My family have organised a great birthday weekend for me. They had driven me into the middle of nowhere telling me that we were to go somewhere for afternoon tea. It turned out that we were staying in a Air BnB place. A fabulous house, and being shown round it, I missed seeing David, a friend from university sitting down (though he had been hiding at first). It was great to see him, though he let slip that Tony, another friend from my past, was to come.
While it took him time to come, he was being driven from the other side of the country. He arrived with Sally, his wife and his son, the same age as my son. All of us had to leave our dogs behind, and we talked and talked as we all caught up.
I am looking forward to the rest of the weekend as there is so much to go over.
