Old friends are the best!!!

I was all ready to come and do a post at about 8pm, just when the children had gone to bed. I sat down and switched on the computer and the doorbell rang!!! Not expecting anyone, I wandered to the front door and looked through the peep hole and there was a smiling face looking back at me.....on opening the door, it was a really great friend of mine, Louise, who I haven't seen in ages and ages (well at least 6 months!! which is awful really as we only live about half an hour away from each other!!).

Louise has 4 children, her daughter is 12, her son is 4 and then she went and shocked us all by having twin girls, who are now 2 years old. As you can imagine, she is one very busy lady.
She just happened to be passing where I live and decided on the spur of the moment to pop in.

We have had the best few hours, infact it was just so nice to sit and chat and catch up on everything that has been happening, all the news, all the gossip, all the plans!!
We both felt so bad that we haven't made the time to visit each other more often and have promised to do so from now on!! Life is just so hectic and the days fly past without me doing half the things that I want/need to do!!

It was great to catch up with Louise, and although we haven't seen that much of each other recently, we are still great friends and just get on so well and the conversation flows so freely between us ~ we know that we will be friends forever ~ and we don't have to live in each others pockets ~

My friends mean the world to me and I am truly lucky to have them in my life ~ it would be a much duller place if they were not there!!
