Long lost shit mates!

No, its not a typo!!! explanation at the bottom!

After nearly a year and a half, we met up with my ex sister in law.... my kids' aunty's and uncle at Dinton Pastures. She was desperate to meet Baby Matty. DN1 wanted me there as a mediator as Shirley and her brother (DN1s father) have a very strained relationship and DN1 was worried about what Shirley might say about him. As it was, she was on her best behaviour and we had a lovely 3 hours cooing over Matty, feeding geese and enjoying lunch. Not a mention about DN1s dad.... my ex!

Several years ago, we went on a cruise to Alaska with Shirley and Steve. I said they were really good "ship mates"..... she thought I'd said "shit mates" and the name has stuck!!!
