Friends, daughters and cake.

One Thursday lunchtime about six years ago, my friend G walked into the local children's centre before she was my friend. Within an hour or two we'd swapped numbers and there started a friendship that I cherish. G moved away a few years later, but today we got to catch up again. Our daughters, both under 12 months old when we first met, played I-spy and chatted then went to inspect the cake cabinet, which is when I caught this photo. They'd already had ice-cream by then so their interest was purely academic.
