Friendships

 Its been a week of meeting up with old friends, yes, we are all getting older but these friendships go back decades.

Sunday we travelled into town to met a couple that we used to work with overseas. They live the closest but it is still over a two hour drive to get there. Six of us had lunch together catching up on families and day to day happenings.

Many memories were brought up and many laughs were enjoyed. After a great couple of hours, we left to catch our train home and they walked into the city to catch their bus. Fifty cent fares for travel is the greatest.

Yesterday we returned to the same cafe to meet another couple who live interstate, that friendship spans about 35 years as we both moved around the country.

The beauty of these friendships is there is never any akwardness and the conversations pick up as though it was only last week we saw them.

My only regret is that each couple live considerable distance from us, one in another country, one in another state the other on the other side of city.

Our ferry ride.
