Friend of old

I was going to title this 'old friend' - but thought my friend might object!!
Chris and I first met when our children were young, and we went to the same toddler group, and then the kids went to the same pre school and primary school. Today we worked out we hadn't seen each other in at least 10 years, after Chris moved away.
It was wonderful seeing her today and having a mega catch up. It will definately not be another 10 yrs before we see each other again!
