Purple.

No 3 had her first full morning at school and loved it.

No 2 discovered that having a bus pass can enhance your social (love?) life!

No 1 is off tripping the light fantastic at the dance studio.

I've been thinking a lot about the friends I had as a teenager and early 20s. Lucky for me I am still in contact with my best friends (who still look 15 to me!! despite our hot flushes and HRT!).

I was delighted to find a message from a very good friend from Primary/Secondary - don't think I've spoken to her for nearly 30 years. I value my 'old' friends. When the going gets tough they always come through and put your feet back on terra firma.

You know who you are - you are beautiful and I love you dearly !
