Can I introduce my friend....a schoolfriend since 5th grade. Friendships are so special and I have a few very close friends that I had to leave behind in Canada when I emigrated to the UK. Meet my friend Barb.

We grew up with usual "girlie" spats, exchanging clothes, getting into mischief together, laughing and crying our fair share, sleepovers. Now we share the events of our lives....grandkids, "weighty" issues, troubles and joys.

It's so good that even when life took me across a big, wide ocean....that connection was never broken. Cheers, Barb!
