Friendship Rings


The response to my last post meant so much to me- all of you who left such kind comments- thank you with all my heart.

In the spirit of that post we spent last Sunday with very old friends- some of us have been setting the world to rights round coffee tables, dinner tables, bar tables for nigh on 24 years.  Now our children play together, forge allegiances- it touched us all to watch this.

I was amazed at the capacity of the huge low coffee table in the middle of the room that managed to take dinner for 5 adults and five kiddos, assorted cups of tea, wine, juice, toys, mobile phones etc etc It has been with my friend since her single partying days and has seen life evolve from lots of wine glass rings to tea rings to crayon marks from her girls and slowly but surely the emergence of the wine rings again- the continuum of life and we raised a toast to the next 24 years.

I hope your weekend is bright and happy, Jo xx

    That Sunday seems like a dream, nothing better than to meet, eat, talk, remember and watch how the children gets all intertwined.

    What a wonderful post, and simple but perfect photo. I love the idea of one table holding years of memories in it's cup rings and chips and scuffs. That's why I always wanted a bashed up wooden kitchen table! Sounds like a great day with good friends - you've inspired me to get off my bum and get in touch with some folk. You know, the kind of friends you think of regularly and wonder how they are doing, but never manage to actually pick up the phone! x
