My good friend Frill

Frill is a dear childhood friend I have known since I was about 5 - I used to be constantly at her house playing with her and her sister and brother - I have many many happy memories of my time with the Simpsons.

Frill - or Eliza (don't ask) - is 40 on Monday and her husband has booked a big country home on the Welsh border for all her childhood friends to meet and gather for the weekend to celebrate Frills bday

This is my mum and Frill - my poor mum was so ill but couldn't possibly miss the big occasion - I felt rough but this paled into insignificance compared to mum
